Il ne s’occupe jamais de rien

What is the rule that requires either de or à, as seen in the above sentences?

why is it: ils ont des dollars et des euro. 

Why use des, not les as money is coutable? 

Please could someone explain why "d'" is used? Why isn't it: et une belle enveloppe decoree? (Please forgive lack of accents within decoree)

quelle luxe ou quel luxe ?

Please help me understand why the response in the following example  isn't "J'en pense la plus grande bien!" Is "plus grand bien" a colloquial and unmodifiable phrase? Merci !

So "j'aime" means "I love" but J'aime bien" means "I like"?  It would seem more, to me,  that to "aime bien" would be more than just to like but is this just idiomatic?

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

I think this distinction is changing, even amongst ardent defenders of the purity of French
