    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!

    Can someone tell me what level of German and what lesson in that level is where numbers are explained?? For example: seventh, sixteenth, twentieth, etc. I need to review them.
