La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes."

A test question under this topic was "La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes." However I am not sure why the grammar is "est de plus de..." instead of "est plus de..." The translation, "is more than..." doesn't indicate the need of an extra "de".

With or without indefinite article ??

Why should I say "Je suis UN oncle" instead of "Je suis oncle"? I shall say "Il est président / prof / boulanger", always omitting the indefinite article. Is it different for family relations? Thanks in advance for any help.

Prévoir

In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.

De and le in sentences

For swimming with fish, should it be "nager avec les poissons", or "nager avec du poissons"? I cheated during the test (oops) and "avec du poission" was the answer google provided me. The system approves it but in the final article it says "avec les poissons".... what is the difference?

Also, can it be "J'ai des cheveux longs et ondulés" instead of "les"?

Context for using "tant mieux"

Hi there,

I'm wondering how "tant mieux" would be used in conversation; that is, what are some common things that people say where the other person would reply using "tant mieux"?

Merci!
