According to the article, to express the previous time - we could use la dernière fois + the clause of the sentence. (la dernière fois is used interchangeably with la fois dernière if without a clause)

We can also use the same to express the last (final) time - la dernière fois + the clause.

How do I know which one this refers to? It could mean both the final time, or the previous time in the above sentence.

me présenter d'autres gens

I'm wondering why it's not correct to say "me présenter à d'autres gens"? I thought that présenter was followed by the preposition à.

Is "retourner dans" invariable, or is "retourner à" also acceptable?

The given translation of "Vous êtes retournés dans la maison de votre enfance" is "You went back to your childhood home."

But can one distinguish between "going back to" (and remaining outside) and "going back into"? In other words is "retourner dans" invariable, or is "retourner à" also acceptable?

Usage of Garder

To piggyback on the question below, sort of, I have heard & read the use of garder to describe babysitting children, par exemple: "Nous gardons les enfants ici." This obviously doesn't mean that they are physically keeping possession of the kids there, like prisoners (although the kids may think so). Is this one of those instances where context is everything or is it incorrect usage?

"Il faisait froid hier soir"

Just wondered if we can say "Il faisait froid tout hier soir" to emphasize "all night long"(though it doesn't seems correct to me).
