    There are lots of regional differences indeed. I'm not an expert, so I'd love confirmation on this, but from what I've read, it is especially different in Bavaria and Austria, and also in South western regions...

    Hi @allen10086
    Great question! You're absolutely right that eins functions as a direct object pronoun here, and German word order rules can be tricky.
    In general, German follows the TeKaMoLo (Temporal - Kausal - Modal - Lokal) structure for adverbial phrases, but pronouns tend to take precedence. When you have a direct object pronoun (eins), it typically comes before time expressions like morgen. This is why "Du musst morgen eins kaufen" is correct rather than "Du musst eins morgen kaufen".

    This is a special case where the presence of a pronoun slightly overrides the usual time-first rule. Keep up the great work, and let us know if you have any other questions!

    You can search for specific topics in the German Index, as shown in the attached image. Just type a keyword such as “numbers” in the search bar, and the Index will show you the relevant lessons.

    For German numbers, please review Level 1:

    Lesson 17: Numbers from 0 to 10
    Lesson 19: Numbers from 11 to 20
    Lesson 20: Numbers from 21 to 1000 and more, including how to count
    Lesson 21: Numbers Review Session

    For examples such as seventh, sixteenth, and twentieth, I recommend starting with Lessons 19 and 20, and then completing the review in Lesson 21.!Screen Shot 2026-07-27 at 11.54.29 AM.png
