Preposition "in" is used with Acc. when showing motion into, and with Abl. when showing static position.
Yet in Cap. IV of LL - line 60 (page 28) Iulius says "Sacculum tuum in mensa pone!". Why? Why is it not "Sacculum tuum in mensam pone!"?
Can explain this someone?

‹Put your purse on the table!› vs. ‹Put your purse into the table!›

You mean "in mensam" means "into the table, but not on the table"? I think I understand, thank you.

I don’t think one should focus too much on the smaller details; if I know Hans right one will know them by the end
of the book anyway. He has planned the course very, very well — especially if you also have the workbook.

Yes, I have the workbook, it is absolutely necessary. The exercises at the end of every chapter are not enough.
The textbook is the best Latin textbook I have ever seen. But I am using a separate Grammar book too (from other author) as I like to understand some things well. An example: I am now in Cap. XI and I wanted to have some rules for determining the gender of nouns of Decl. III - without knowing some rules I would be totally lost.

From my point of view, there must be accusative. It is probably a mistake.

I was wrong. The verb ponere is used with in + abl.
