2. いらっしゃる becomes いらっしゃり次第； おっしゃる becomes おっしゃり次第； なさる becomes なさり次第
3. Don't use past tense in main clause.
2. いらっしゃる becomes いらっしゃり次第； おっしゃる becomes おっしゃり次第； なさる becomes なさり次第
3. Don't use past tense in main clause.
It is also possible to leave the し attached to Nする verbs. （新完全マスターN２、3課）
After talking with my Japanese co-workers about する verbs with this pattern, they told me that you are supposed to leave the し. However in terms of practical use a Japanese school teacher told me that Native Japanese speakers will often change する to できる when using this pattern.

It seems to me that it is also possible to leave し on its place with する verbs.
The answer for the exercise 3.3 on p.18 (新完全マスターN2) is with し attached to the verb (留学し).
As a single source is not so reliable sometimes, I have also checked a few other sources online,
It seems both are used so I am not saying the grammar note above is wrong...
Could someone give more information on that? Are the links trustful?
(I think I don't know any Japanese-only trustful website about (Japanese) grammar...)
Thanks in advance.
