Why wasn't on se voit used for "see you this week-end ?" 

Why is it "était DE" here? Why is the "DE" used ?

With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.

I was wondering would these two sentences I made up be correct? I'm trying to understand the difference between the 12hr and 24hr.

Je me couche à vingt-deux heures 

I go to bed at 10pm

Je me révielle à neuf heures 

I wake up at 9am

Thanks

In this structure in English, you can use either an object pronoun or a subject pronoun plus a verb. You can't use a subject pronoun without a verb.  "She is taller than me." OR "She is taller than I am." BUT NOT "She is taller than I."

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.

Hello everyone. I was taking a quiz in which I respond like this "nous nous sommes brossés les chevaux" but the site says that it is nearly correct and this version is correct " nous nous sommes brossé les chevaux". And it made me curious because the subject is plural and there is a  reflexive verb!!!! Anyone could explain this contradiction?

Thanks 

Why is there a "DE" here? Is the expression "fait de qch"?

At the beginning of the lesson, it is written that "En, au and aux" are used for countries, which I'm fine with, but later on it also says that "En, dans la and dans l' " are also to be used with countries. (Regions, states and countries) My question is, if I wanna say that I'm going to a musculine country and I have both Dans le / Dans l' and Au, which one do I use? I'm so confused!

What is the difference between pour and de l'ordre à?
