Hello Sundance,
There is a rule and most Americans and Canadians follow it unconsciously. In your example, 'last', the 't' is not pronounced if the next word or letter is begins with a consonant. When it begins with a vowel or a vowel sound, the 't' is pronounced or almost pronounced depending on how fast they're speaking. bdsenglishniche.com
