hello.
I'm wondering about the usage of "in" and "after" for time's lapse.
the period of exhibition: today(10-9) through tomorrow(10-10)
an hour before we open the exhibition today
if we said that "it will be finished in two days." or "it will be finished in a days" or "it will be finished after a day."
1. three sentences are possible?
2. both “in two days”and "in a day" is possible?
3. I know that "it will be finished after a day" can't be used in the grammar. really? and "after a day" can't be used?
could you please let me know about it logically... thank you...

Hello If the exhibition finishes on the 16th October, you might say "it will finish in a week". But if it finishes tomorrow, I would say simply "it will finish tomorrow". I believe "tomorrow" is a time concept much easier to grasp than "in two days" in any language.
