Why une brosse a dents and not aux because dents is plural?

In the last section covering: Il manque [quelque chose] à [qulequ’un/quelque chose/] there are two sentences that do not make use of “à”. The last one, in particular, has me stumped: “Il va manquer une chaise pour ton oncle.” What rule is this following? The impersonal examples below don’t seem to explain it. 

There seem to be too many concepts under a single heading that don’t appear to apply to them all.

This was a question in one of the quizzes:

Il m'a offert une boîte ________ bijoux pour ranger mes colliers.

Please help for the following : 

What are the differences between these two sentences

1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille. 

2) Il habite à 10 min de Marseille. 

My answer was the number one, but the Kwiziq marked it wrong. 

Thank you!

Hi all, I am not getting my head around the sentence- C'est la fameuse "auberge espagnole" du titre.. why is du titre at the end. thanks 

When I take the quizzes, the answers I choose aren't the ones showing when I get the review.  It seems the quiz is changing my answers.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

dont la renommée rayonne encore:

whose reKnown still shines → whose renown still shines

Can you say "ça est une idée brillant?

Are the primary and secondary conjugations dans le présent common to one French-speaking country or another or are they newer/older versions?

How do know when to use these before the season?
