Hello everyone
I am a non native english speaker. I am brushing English grammar basics and I have a doubt in it.
--- last time I saw --- bear, I was travelling in --- Europe.
Can any one help me out to what articles goes in to those blanks and why. In particular I have doubt with first two blanks. It is a question from GMAT grammar book.
Adding one more sentence
--- chair is --- useful piece of furniture.
Here i have doubt with the first blank. I think second is a (null) as "useful" is not a noun and so no article.
Two more sentences - Fill with Other/Another/the other
I'm almost finished with my homework. I just need --- ten minutes.
You can buy this shirt and --- one. Which --- would you like?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hi,
Not too sure how these are related to GMAT -- but please see below.
>>> The last time I saw a bear, i was travelling in Western Europe.
--- chair is --- useful piece of furniture.
>>>>>The chair is a useful piece of furniture.
I'm almost finished with my homework. I just need --- ten minutes.
>I'm almost finished with my homework. I just need another ten minutes.
You can buy this shirt and --- one. Which --- would you like?
>>You can buy this shirt and the other one.
Another --- meaning = "extra"
the other -- meaning = "not this one, but the other one.."

Hi Gmat Pill Instructor
Thanks for your reply. Great the answers give by you are the same given in the book as well but i have some doubts and I guess you can help to clarify those for me.
For the question -
--- last time I saw --- bear, I was travelling in --- Europe.
For the first blank do we require any article at all. As far as i understood articles are used in front of nouns only. So, is last time a noun ??
For the next question -
--- chair is --- useful piece of furniture.
Can't we use A chair instead of the chair as we are saying in general about chair and not about any particular one.
For this question:
I'm almost finished with my homework. I just need --- ten minutes.
Is ten minutes not a plural question ?? An other is used for singular nouns as for as i understood.
For this question:
You can buy this shirt and --- one. Which --- would you like?
In first blank, why should it not be the other one.. I mean i am saying about a particular shirt.
In second blank which should it not be others ??
