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.Google translates "you are really early" as "tu es vraiment en avance"
But it translates "you are really early today" as "tu es vraiment tôt aujourd'hui"

An vs année, matin vs matinée, jour vs journée, soir vs soirée to express a time unit or a duration in French
