What does this sentence mean, "Elle a posé toutes ses lettres au tour d'après"?

Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?

If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

I know it must be my ear, but, having listened to it over and over, it seems the speaker says "mais cera n'est pas obligatoire."  

So how do we use " dans" "en" "à" like they got the same meaning so I'm very confused 

In the following sentence why is him the word lui and not le?  I thought lui was usually used only with verbs that could be associated with à.  The example: “ “It’s necessary that I find him an original gift.”

according to another app I’m using the correct answer is: “ il faut que je lui trouve un cadeau original” and not “il faut que je le trouve un cadeau original”  I’m confused with this.  

Can I ask about the following sentence:  "Now, remember that at the time" —> Maintenant, rappelez-vous qu'à l'époque"

In the English sentence "Now," functions as a filler, rather than meaning literally "at the moment" - you could as easily say "Well," or "So," without changing the sense of the narrative. I was expecting "donc" or "alors" and wonder if it’s common to use "maintenant’ like this?

This sentence has a question mark, but it got marked as wrong. In the text above, the sentence ends with a period.

Bonjour et merci pour ce beaux exercise. Deux petits comments: En anglais vous avez ecrit "choose", qui et le present; vous voulez surement "chose", qui et le passe simple. :) Et une librarie et une bibliotheque ne sont pas la meme chose, oui? Merci ! Pardon le manque des accents.

I'm having a terrible time with pronunciation of these verbs. Google translate doesn't pick it up well even when I play clips of the native speakers. Any suggestions?
