Today very early when my wife was giving me the breakfast in the home.

When was the last time you fixed a laptop?

I don't fix laptops...

When was the last time you had problems with your computer?

(oh and you answered the question wrong, it's when you skipped breakfast, like you didn't have any breakfast at all :P )

Tenemos problemas con el ordenador continuamente, pero mi marido sabe arreglar los fallos.

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que tuviste que conducir en niebla?
Yo hoy, cuando iba a trabajar. Tuve que dar la vuelta porque hubo un acidente en la autopista y el tráfico estaba parada.

Jessica might not have understood it well, unless she actually caught a fish.
¿La pregunta de Tarential es correcta?
¿No es ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que cogiste un pez?
Y si la respuesta es sí, ¿alguien me puede explicar la diferencia entonces entre pez y pescado?
Gracias!

For me it would be ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que cogiste/pescaste un pez? Pescado is dead so "cogiste un pescado" to me would mean "held a (dead) fish" as in what you might get at the fishmonger.

@Here4good: Ambarina is right, and I guess my use of "pescado" will fall into those "regional differences".
"Pez" is certainly used for a living fish, but around here is rather associated to a fish living in its natural habitat. When the fish lives in a fishbowl or in a breeding pond, it's pretty common to call it "pescado".
No encontré la pregunta de Tarential equivocada, porque una vez que lo pescaste, pues ya es "pescado".
My first choice would have been "¿Cuándo fue la última vez que pescaste?" (Adding "un pescado" would be a pleonasm.)
One can say "¿Cuándo fue la última vez que pescaste un atún/una carpa/una trucha/un salmón?" (or in plural "atunes"/"carpas"...)
"Coger/atrapar/agarrar un pescado" makes me rather think about someone using their hands or struggle to grab the fish in a breeding pond, but it can easily be understood as "pescar (un pez)" as well.

Can't remember.
