Here, Oublier is infinitive form of the verb which means - to forget. So, in this example isn't it translated to - She must have forget about it, which doesn't sound right. How can it be translated to '...forgotten it.' which is past tense?

Word order of obect ÇA vs COI

I want to understand the word order of a demonstrative pronoun AS AN OBJECT (whether or not it is contracted to ça). It was asked below, "Je l'adore" vs. "J'adore ça" but the point was missed in the answer. when ÇA is used as an object, it seems to follow the verb, but when le, la, or lui is used, the object pronoun preceeds the verb.
I've searched Lawless French and googled for this, but have not found anything that specifically addresses this nuance of word order. Please help!

The order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun

I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?

Two questions: one word choice, one choice of article

1- I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens." I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."

2- Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas" with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat" ?

I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.
