Re: 10 days

Hi Soofie,

The correct way to phrase the question is:

1. When will the exam results be published?

Note that the plural, resultS, is used.

The correct answer could be either of the following:

2. The results will be out after September 26.
3. The results will be out 10 days from September 16.

Sentence 3 is grammatically correct, but it is odd. Why say "ten days 
after Sept 16" when you can add 16 + 10 =26 and just use that date?
