Does the "tout" in the second sentence refer to "la rentrée" ?

I am wondering why it is not "toute" in the second sentence since it would seem to refer to "la rentrée" which is feminine.

Last sentence doesn’t belong

Hi, has “ Je vais suivre tes conseils, merci.” been imported from a different exercise incorrectly? It doesn’t seem to belong there at all. Brian

Infinitif passé

"Elle est soulagée de ne pas devoir être opérée."

Is this the infinitif passé, please?

And if not - what!

Why is le passé composé used instead of l'imparfait in the first sentence?

Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?

"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."

I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?

Savoir vs. Connaître

English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.

French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.

I got this wrong. My thinking was that 'who' was a direct object and a person or persons, therefore connaître. I would have used connaître in the second part, again détails is the direct object, but I was influenced by my error in the first use of 'to know '; hence I chose savoir. Please explain why the first calls for savoir. Thanks.

Singular or plural?

"Je n'ai pas de X."

Should "X" be in the singular form or in the plural? Does it depend on which form it was in in the question?

eg. "Avez-vous une voiture ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de voiture." but "Avez-vous des chaussures ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de chaussures." ?
