Time expressions with or without the

Could you possibly have a look at the following ?
1: "in the last two years" = the last 24 months
2: "last week" = the last calender week and "the last week" = the last seven days
3: "last day" = "the last day" = the last 24 hours , they are different from yesterday.
4: "the last two" + "hours,days,weeks,months and years" roughly = "the last" + "120 minutes, 48 hours, 14 days, 60 days and 24 months"
5: the expressions without "the" like "last year, last week, last two days" = last calender year, week and days.

Thank you very much again!
