"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.)

I'm sorry but it's very hard to follow the explanations.

In this lesson, you basically mean:

des autres = the other(s) - specific ones, whenever "de" would be in front

d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic

Could you please explain the difference between toucher and toucher à? What do they imply? 

Please share some examples.

(For e.g., what is difference between - Ne pas toucher à mes clés!  &  Ne pas toucher mes clés! )

Hi, I used " pour autant que je m'en souvienne" and it marked my answer as wrong. Can someone please explain that. thanks

j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?

"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans".    I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :) 

In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme!  My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ».  I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.

We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats! 

Why is it "du" and not "des"?

The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.

One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.

Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles

Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations

This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être.  (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)
