A bit off topic, but...In the third example, "Il est important qu'il apprenne ses lecons", how come it's not "c'est important"?

Hi. I am confused about some of the sentences in this lessonSome sentences seem very similar to "will have" (futur antérrior) and I can't tell the difference. For example: Apparemment, ils seraient partis ce matin. Apparently, they would have left this morning. Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3 heures. According to Tom, they would have come home around 3. Why would you not say"According to Tom, they will have come home around 3" or "Apparently they will have left this morning"?

What is the difference between the use of le/la meme and pareil?I know that one can say "C'est le/la meme." for "It is the same." Can you not also say "C'est pareil/pareille?

The passé composé or the plus- que- parfait depends on same subject or different subject .Après qu'il est rentré chez lui, il s'est couché. MAIS Après que son ami était parti, il s'est couché. [His friend had left when he went to bed.]
