 "alors il va préparer l'entré", aint it should be "elle" not "il" referring to her mom ?

I often find it difficult to know whether to use [le/la/les] or [du/de la/des]. I do know the difference, and mostly it's obvious, but sometimes it seems to be optional. Take the case here, at the end of the exercise.... pour jouer aux jeux vidéos, as opposed to ... pour jouer à des jeux vidéo. Any advice please?

When is the past subjunctive used in the 'by the time...", if ever.

I tried translating "You cannot tell anyone." on my own, and I came up with
"Tu ne peux pas dire à personne."

However, when I tried to check it on Google Translate, it changed my sentence to
"Tu ne peux pas le dire à personne."

Is "le" really necessary before "dire"? What is the rule of these kinds of sentences?

I hope you can help me. Thanks!

I don't understand how to use indirect object? 

thes dessert that she craves- why not que?

In this lesson there is an example of passer in passé compose using être:

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie... 

and using avoir:

Nous avons passé une bonne semaine...

I can't see an explanation for this and I'm confused
