In the lesson it states:

"When last time is followed by a clause (last time I saw you), you can only use la dernière fois, and never la fois dernière." 

but there is a question that asks "_______,  Henri est venu me voir." ("Last time, Henri came to see me") One would assume the answer would be "La dernière fois," but that was not listed as an option for multiple choice.

Instead, it says that the answer is "La fois dernière" (the other multiple choice answers are: Dernière fois/ Fois dernière/ Une dernière fois). Is this because there is a comma, so "Henri came to see me" does not count as a clause following "Last time,"?

For the term, change of scenery, the exercise used, "le dépaysement" with un changement de décor used as alternative. I was wondering just what the distinction or nuance in the 2 terms is. Please explain when you would use one over the other. Thanks.

In the fourth sentence, chouette refers to papa. Is is a term of endearment, like honey or chou-chou?

Why soit d’argent soit un cadeau?  Why not soit de l’argent or soit d’un cadeau?

Test question:

How would you say «This computer works the best»? Cet ordinateur marche ________.

The answer is given as mieux.

But the lesson says:

Use meilleure when qualifying something as good/better/the best at what it does, i.e. efficient/practical, or good/better/the best in taste (food):

Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?Which is the best vacuum cleaner?

Why is it right for a vacuum, but wrong for a computer?

I am guessing that the verb "mettre" was chosen over "porter" because the latter had already been used twice; otherwise "porter" would have been an acceptable choice in "...toutes mes tenues de soirée en même temps. "  Am I right?

I do not understand why a 10 minutes de is wrong, and a 10 mins de is right. I have not yet seen the latter given as an example.

What is wrong with this?

Why is the letter "l" of the verb s'appeler doubled in all persons but the first and second plural?
