And in the Dominant 7th we need a half tone step (or minor second) from 7-8 degree of the scale. This is because instead of a Major triad we would have a minor triad in the the first three notes of the Dominant 7th if we did not have a half step from the seventh degree to the eighth in the scale.

Right. Now I just want for you to try some more. This time I will either give a key or I will give you a Dominant7th chord and you'll have to identify which key(s) it may belong to.
1) D minor
2) A Major
3) Db-F-Ab-Cb
4) C-E-G-Bb
5) F# minor
6) Eb-G-Bb-Db
7) G Major
