la montagne vs. les montagnesFun exercise. I enjoyed it a lot, especially imaging myself walking on the beach, naked toes in the warm sand!
Just one simple question:
I am familiar with the expression, "a la montagne", as in "aller a la montagne". And, j'adore "la montagne".
But I have also heard "les montagnes" in phrases such as "L'ete, je marche dans les montagnes."
I have reviewed the lesson on singular/plural (collective nouns): "les cheveux"; "les toilettes"; "la police" etc. There is no mention of "la/les montagnes".
I would very much appreciate an explanation of when to use the singular, "la montagne" vs. the plural, "les montagnes."
Merci beaucoup !
"Adverbs of place and certain adverbs of time usually FOLLOW the past participle:
e.g. tard, tôt,... and some adverbs ending in -ment
Il est parti tard."
But the "correct"micro-quiz answer for the placement of "plus tard" is at the beginning or end of the sentence. Does adding "plus" modify the normal placement of "tard"?
In the sentence "...où j'ai vu les plus merveilleuses peintures préhistoriques de ma vie. ", why is tableaux not accepted as a synonym for peintures. My dictionary makes no real distinction between the two words.
Both mean time. Are there rules for their use?

I am having difficulty in understanding some of the rules around "depuis que". For example, the sentence "Depuis je te l'ai recontré, je me sense mieux" means in English "Since I have met you, I've been in love with you". Please explain why It isn't "Since I met you". Thanks.
