In the writing challenge "At Uncle Robert's 70th birthday" we are asked to translate "when I'm done with all that".
The suggested answers both use "en". E.g. "quand j'en aurai fini avec tout cela".
I wonder why "en" is required? I expect it to replace "de qqch" but in this sentence isn't that role - specifying what is being finished - supplied by "avec tout cela"?
Is there a lesson on Kwiziq that gives an example of this usage? It is not really included in En can replace de + [phrase] (French Adverbial Pronouns)

Salut tout le monde !
I was asked to translate "tu sais ce qui est le plus efficace ?", j'y ai répondu "do you know who is the most efficient?" mais la bonne réponse est "do you Kong what is post efficient?".
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi les deux ne sont pas corrects, j'apprécierais une explication. Merci beaucoup ! :)

The suggested answers to My favourite painting is called "The Sunflowers”, are
Mon tableau favori s'appelle "Les Tournesols” and Mon tableau préféré s'appelle "Les Tournesols”,... Presumably 'Ma painture' could be substituted for 'Mon tableau' ??As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations. Love, the site, but not passé simple!
Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple.
