Marcel sera rentré d'ici une heure.Je comprends qu'on veut dire qu'il sera rentré chez lui <within et by>.  Mais, je ne crois pas qu'il soit une difference entre les deux.  On dit en anglais, il sera rentre chez lui dans une heure...? Ça veut dire <he will be home in one hour ou quoi?

Use of EN and not DANS in the 'Transport' section above.

In he lessson: 'Monter can be used with avoir or être in Le Passé Composé... and changes meaning', the following example is given that uses EN not DANS.

Nous sommes tous montés EN voiture.

Could you please explain why DANS is not used as the 'Transport' section above states that DANS should be used.

Thank you.

juste au cas où and au cas oùHello, In the examples given juste au cas où and  au cas où both translate as just in case when at the end of a sentence. Is there a way to know when to add juste, or is it entirely optional? Thanks.
