Will you be doing an Italian course at some time? Thank you.

"trop de bonbons"

Is "trop" always coupled with "de" when it is followed by a noun?

Why is the verb « aller » inserted in the answer ?  « nous te disons de ne pas aller te coucher » . Why isn’t it « nous te disons de ne pas te coucher » ?

Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?

Why is it "la confiture d'abricot" but, "la confiture de la fraise"? Shouldn't it be "la confiture d'abricot" and "la confiture de fraise"? 

Or: "la confiture de l'abricot" and "la confiture de la fraise"?

Just curious as to which is correct.

Merci

The sentence refers to buying a "region".  To me, that implies a rather large estate with a fancy house and well-kept grounds.  My dictionary gives 'terres' as the preferred choice over 'domaine' when referring to lands.  Should this option not be added?  If not, why is domaine preferred?

Is 'pas' missing because this is spoken French? Or is this a case where it isn't needed?

Voilà deux petites cartes que j'avais achetées.

We do not accord in case of avoir verb as opposed to être in passé composé, but in Plus-que-parfait why have we accorded the 'acheter' verb when with avoir? And does the same happen in case of être as well (in Plus-que-parfait?)
