why cant you say cinq heures trente, it doesnt say write as if 12 hour clock but only acceptes cinq heures et demie du matin?

In  the sentence starting, "L'année dernière, j'ai découvert . . .,"  isn't "last year" referring to a unit of time that happened once, so wouldn't "l'an dernier" be correct?  I thought "l'année dernière" would indicate that the discovery happened multiple times over the course of a year. Please advise.

"duquel" is unacceptable here instead of  "de ce que"

Hello,

I wanted to send a link of this song on this page to my father through the email: do you need a subscrition to "progress with lawless french" to view and hear it?

I opted for "avoir besoin de" here, but "dois" was preferred.  That's okay.  But I had to put a "de" and "le" together.  I did not change it to "du."  Which is correct.  I appreciate your response.
