>(1)"Ich es einer Dose" Not to sure about "einer".
Isn't Dose feminine (i.e. die Dose)? Then it would be "Ich esse eine Dose".
>(2)"Ich es im einer Dose" dito.
That's "in", not "im". So the sentence becomes "Ich esse in einer Dose".
>(3)"Ich wohne im einer Dose" As I said at the top.
Same here.
If the noun after in is masculin, then it become "in dem [noun]", often
abbreviated to "im [noun]".
