The trouble with these exercises, even though you can learn new ways of saying things, don't really recognise that as long as people understand you then you can be a bit more relaxed. In a few examples you used words that I don't have at hand but I had words with similar meanings. I guess that's why these programs don't suit everyone. 

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. 

Tu as une soeur? Aucune!

Can I answer this answer as "Personne"?

Qui est là? - Personne.

In "I went online to find tapas recipes" shouldn't the verb for find be chercher rather than (or at least as well as)  trouver?

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français ! 

Giving "pour" as correct.

I came up with: Si il est mieux, le médicin lui donnera un certificat médical. 

Thanks in advance

We say “j’aime le chocolat” (in general) or “j’ai mangé du chocolat” (a quantity). So I thought the translation for  “we tasted sausage rougails with yellow rice” might be “nous avons goûté DES rougails”, but the answer was “nous avons goûté LES rougails”. I thought it would follow the same logic as the accompanying yellow rice, “… avec du riz jaune”.  But my reasoning is obviously not quite correct. Can someone please explain why “les” and not “des” for the rougails? 

im sure this has been asked already but I can't get my head around why imperfect is used for "les festivités commençaient VERS vingt heures" and then past tense is used for "VERS vingt-trois heures trente, tout le monde s'est dirigé vers le terrain de foot" when both sentences says towards a time ??? 

L'infinitif du verbe 'est' c'est......?
