why can't I say c'etais la coup de foudre instead of c'a ete?

According to the above rule, each/every month should only be chaque mois, since "chaque" goes with a singular noun, and "tous les" goes with a plural noun.  How is "mois" plural?  Just because it has an "s" at the end?  Very confusing.  Please help!

Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?

This is confusing me... in English  three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?

Les enfants, curieux, ---I conjugated third person plural fureter as furettent.  The correct conjugation is furetent [can't put accents here], but fureter is not on your list of eter and eler verbs that are conjugated in this way.  Is this an oversight or am I missing something?

I think there is value is amending the lesson to emphasize that sometimes means or or often based on the context. 

For example:  - at any moment; à tout prix - at any price; à tout propos - at any given opportunity; à tout venant - to anyone and everyone; de tout âge - at any age; en tout cas - in any case; en tout état de cause - in any case, in any event; si je le laisse seul, tout peut arriver - If I leave him alone, anything can happen;

What about the cake? is translated as Et la gateau?  'And the cake?' . Agreed they are almost synonymous, but Kwiziq is picky about this sort of thing. Is 'Et..' really the best transalation of 'What about...' ?
