If I have "Je parle aux enfants" will it be
"Je leur parle" or "Je les parle" ?
When to use which?
"La dernière fois que nous avions fait ça ensemble, c'était en 2011! "
I think "la dernière fois où" should be given as an option. See:

Or is "la dernière fois où" as unusual (even if grammatically correct) to encounter as "chaque fois où"?
Are there other usages of "fois" where "où" whould be very unusual?
(The other use of "fois" in this example "les rares fois où les attaquants adverses se sont approchés de notre but" does not seem to be one of them.)
Why is "pommes de terre" not a correct plural of "pomme de terre", or perhaps the correct plural? I've never before seen "pommes de terres".
in the text, you start by saying 'ils leur ont préparé un cadeau....' Singular.
but at the end, you say '....de si jolis cadeaux'. It is hard to know if it is plural or not by just listening, especially when we started with just the one.
In the sentence "my eyes are blue..." I wrote 'Les yeux sont bleus (I forgot to add the j'ai), but it was corrected to "Mes yeux sont bleus." I thought you did not use possessives with body parts?
When do we use "changer de" and when do we use "changer"? What is their difference?
