Some of these sentences are a bit silly as in order to know whether a particular sentence requires a direct or an indirect object pronoun, I need to see more of the sentence. I'm getting marked down for things I can't see until the next slide. 

The model provides this sentence:

Nous mangerons dans une heure.

But a quiz corrected my response of

Nous mangerons dans trente minute seulement.

With

Nous mangerons en trente minute seulement.

My understanding was that "will" was the cue for "dans", but evidently not.  Any clarification will help.  Thanks.

Elle m'en donne quatre toutes les semaines.  Is said to be the correct translation of She gives me four every week.  Why is it that the "of them" is understood in English but not in French?  Maybe I'm being difficult, but it would seem that the "of them" should be clear either from the preceding information or just clear to whoever is hearing the phrase.  Please clarify -- is this another French idiosyncrasy??? 

Hello,

I know that the reflexive verb introduction is in the A1 level but, when should one learn about the passive and subjective  pronominals?

Thanks

Hello

I was wondering if there was a lesson on the verb devoir because I'm not seeing it. 

Thanks
