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.
Bonjour!
I was wondering when listening to the sound Tu is it me or does it sound like when you say je?
Thank you

Is this also the correct way of framing inversion questions with Object Pronouns??? -
1. L’Aimes-tu? / L'aimez-vous? [Do you like him/her?]
2. Lui parles-tu souvent? / Lui parlez-vous souvent? [Do you speak to him/her often?]
3. Les avez-vous vus? / Les avez-vous vues? [Have you seen them?]
Is the above way more formal, than the intonation method used in this lesson?
J'ai vu recemment la chanson avec video 'Sacre Charlemagne' sur YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-a22xge-c (1964). Ca me semblait une chanson charmante mais aussi un peu bizarre!

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a section for beginners for the placement of adverbs like we have for adjectives?

What is the difference between using 'à' + infinitive to express a purpose and using 'pour' (as earlier in 'pour observer de petits insectes')?
