How to say "I'm watching from beautiful hills"?Hello,
I came across this quiz: "Je regarde de belles collines." which confuses me a lot when choosing the answer. Because if taken out of the context of this specific lesson, I personally can't tell whether it's:
1. "I'm looking at some (des) beautiful hills"
2. "I'm looking from (de) these (les) beautiful hills " which I think also makes sense.
The answers available are:
a) "I'm looking at beautiful hills." (correct answer)
b) "I'm watching from beautiful hills."
Can I ask why a) is correct and b) is not? Is it because "regarder de" doesn't mean "watching from"? If this is the case, what happens if it's another verb + de (in french) that means verb + from (in english)? Better yet, how can I actually say option b) in french?
I hope my question makes sense.
Can you give us a list of all vocabulary as an excel sheet or something? I'd love to make myself some flashcards instead of reading a list for using it with for example the flashcards app Anki. I won't share it if you don't want me to, but if you want to have the Anki deck then you can have it too of course.
In this story, the writer is still waiting the response from the interviewers, thus I would assume he is still working. Hence shouldn't we use Je travaille tellement dur depuis quelques années ? I assume he is still working hard.... :)
Would it be possible in the questions to give clues as to whether places are regions, cities, etc.? My French and British geography knowledge isn't that great. I could certainly Google whether places are cities or regions, but as the point of these kwizzes is to determine whether I know the proper preposition to use (and not to test my knowledge of geography), clues would be very helpful! This would be useful for all questions associated with prepositions before named places, not just this lesson. On the plus side, if there were clues as to the type a place is (region, city, etc.), I would gradually learn geography by proxy! Thanks!
J'ai vraiment apprécié cette dictée. J'ai adoré leur enthousiasme pour les Bleus. Je regarde la Coupe du Monde tous les 4 ans bien que je ne connaisse pas grand chose au foot!
"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent. Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas? Merci.
Maybe Vous haïssez la médiocrité as well
Strange, in the learn and discuss, they come out fine.

Shouldn’t the adjective be plural to match the noun?
