I'm confused about the difference between "les jours derniers" vs. "les derniers jours".

In the lesson, "les jours derniers" is translated as "these last days" while "les derniers jours" is translated as "these past few days." I'm having a hard time seeing the distinction. 

I am totally confused by the lessonand what appears to be contradicting examples, etc.

Has this been reformulated?  It almost seems using c'est vs il/elle est is intuitive for native speakers but not those learning.

I was thrown by :  Tu aimes mon pull? (specific) - Oui, il est tres beau.

(sorry, missing accents above)

and later: Tu aimes la soupe? (specific) - Oui, c'est reconfortant.    

"ce sont des filles"

So the question was:

How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?

1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.

2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.

3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.

4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.

So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1,  but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2. 

What gives?

- Le soleil se lève dans l'est. 

- Le soleil se lève à l'est. 

Are both correct? Can you please explain why "dans" is not used? à l'est would mean 'to the east' and not 'in the east'?? - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/directions/ 

Clearly the nice and better is being used for the boyfriends (subject) and not is the verb, then why on earth are we using mieux here? It seems to be an error, feel free to correct me though.

in this example, two questions:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!

1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?

2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?

Write sentences of se laver in futur simple

Can I also use aucun here ?

- Tu n’as aucun lait. [You don't have any milk./ You have no milk at all.]

Do they mean the same?
