Le Passe Simple, Passe Compose and Imparfait

Is there a lesson that clearly compares when to use each of these. I'm struggling to distinguish between the three and was hoping for a side by side comparison.

Thanks.

I thought when an adjective followed a negative verb you had to use the masculine form of the adjective

Difficulty with much of this exercise

I struggled with this translation. Part of it is not having sufficient vocabulary to do it (mostly because of not having been exposed to much of it in previous work) and part of it is not knowing exactly what the expected answers might be. I have come to dread these exercises (I much prefer the dictees) and feel really quite inadequate at the end of each. Should I drop back a level and work on B1 rather than B2 exercises or should I just say to **** with it all and be content with the (inadequate) level of proficiency I've acquired? I am feeling very discouraged!!

Difference between 'none left' and 'haven't any more'

So there is no difference in French between ' i haven't any more chocolate' and 'I haven't any chocolate left'? That was my confusion, I thought it was a trick question.

Which tense?

The exercise says "When the main verb is in the passé composé, it is followed by the passé composé or plus que parfait" so why, in the following example, is the passé composé followed by the present tense.

Après qu’ils sont arrivés, ils vont saluer ma mère.After they've arrived, they go and say hello to my mother.

Possible to add 'autrement' as correct ?

Sinon seems to be the only word accepted for 'otherwise' (as conjunction meaning 'or else') in this exercise. Autrement gets the strikethrough, although Céline gave it the green light in a response previously.
