Correction needed to the lesson?

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See - https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html

EXCEPTIONS :

- apparaître (to appear, come to be) and derivatives

Pourquoi le present?

Salut, pouvez-vous m'expliquer le temps du verbe dans cette phrase:

Je n'avais jamais boursicoté avant que Belinda ne suggère que je tente le coup et bien que je sois encore en train d'apprendre les ficelles..."

Pourquoi est le present utilisé?

Merci !

C’était un peu du n’importe quoi

C’était un peu du n’importe quoi- why isn’t it “c’était un peu de n’importe quoi “ ? I always thought that de was used after a quantity ?

confusing use of tellement and tant de

The written piece says "tellement d'endroits", which was marked wrong when I wrote it. Acceptable were: "tant d'endroits" or "tellement de lieux". Are they all correct?

agreement with avoirHi, I have a question re the following answer:
J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter. - Marie les a déjà tous achetés
Why is the "achetés" plural in this case. As it is not conjugated with être in passé composé my understanding is that it would not agree?
