what are the meaning of jusque-la?
Do I use it in present tense,past tense and future tense ? and does it have two meaning? (until then,So far)
Examples: 
1-Mon fils était un brave garçon jusque-là= My son was a good boy until then

2-C'est mon moment préféré jusque-là=it is my favourite moment so far

3-Les reste de cadeaux attendra jusque-la=The rest of the gifts wait until then

Aidez-moi S'il vous plait

Please explain why partir is used instead of aller for "Where are you going this year"?

Thank you

In doing a translation exercise something was modified in English as being "the second most" + adj + noun (ex. the fifth richest county in the state). Could you add an example like to this lesson? Because how it's written in French turned out not to be a direct translation to English and it is not clear to me how to address a phrase like this from this lesson. 

What's the meaning of this phrase, "enchaîné les apéritifs?"

"A series of drinks?" or perhaps even "a round?"

This is more of a comment than a question.  My problem is that in terms of the grammar, I know all the concepts and have achieved 90% in my progress reports.  I only achieved 50% for this because of the speed and liaison/elision of the speaker.  For example  "moins le quart" sounded to me like moinsquart.  I did not pick up the "le".  Another example "Le taxi arrivera vers six heures et demie", I didn't hear "vers" at all, so substituted "à" for it to make sense.  I need B1 to be successful in an application for citizenship.  Phew!!  I've got a long way to go.
