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. 

In the last sentence, why is there no 'que'. Someone else asked but there's no response. 

Since the active voice was imperfect (Marie caressait son chat), why is not the passive voice also imperfect? I had chosen Son chat était caressé par Marie-

One thing I had a problem with in this dictation was the reference to 'tu'. Who's she talking to? If this was made clearer in the intro or title, it might help a bit?

No question here, just: Merci pour vôtre efforts et meilleurs voeux pour un Joyeux Noël et un bon Nouvel An! :)

Where can I find the vocabulary used in the dictation exercises?  I clicked on the all related grammar/vocabuary link, but it only gives the grammar.  There were lots of expressions/words used for which I couldn't find a proper translation in the context of the exercise. Alternatively, a translation for the dictation would be useful

Why "prêts", and not "prêt"? "On", the subject of the sentence is singular.  Should not the adjective also be singular?
