The last time, 13h15, doesn't seem to fit, unless it is the next day.  Am I missing something? 

To say - "The thief is in prison for 2 years." ....are all of the below correct/acceptable ? Is 'Depuis' more preferable with present tense/ present durations and no. 2) 'Pour' is incorrect? because Pour is used with future tense/ future durations only as per this lesson?? Please clarify.

1. Le voleur est en prison depuis 2 ans. 

2. Le voleur est en prison pour 2 ans. 

3. Le voleur est en prison pendant/durant 2 ans. (also acceptable bcoz action is within a specific timeframe, as per this lesson?)

So, out of the above no. 1)- 'Depuis' is the most preferable way to say it because we are using present tense (and the action is still ongoing)?? And 'Pour' is not correct because it is strictly for future durations as per this lesson?

So am I to assume that all pasta dishes [spaghetti has come up in other exercises] are considered countable and thus the "des", while bread is uncountable and thus the "du"?

Please confirm are these Adverbial Affirmative Imperatives correct? 

- Donne-lui-en! [Give him some!]

- Emmenez-m’y!  [Take me there!]

- Emmenez-nous-y! [Take us there!]

- Amuse-t’y! / Amusez-t'y! [Have fun there!]

Could anyone explain the use of 'nous' in the second example but not in the first. I would see the constructions as similar.

Is the use of 'nous' in these cases optional?

Thanks guys
