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.
Vous Pouvez poséz les questions de enregistrements pour tester ?
This is an area that I have found to be a bit confusing for me: Why is it "une tarte aux pommes; une tarte aux peches" but "une tarte/sorbet au citron" etc...?
It is "un cafe au lait" but is it "une glace au cafe" for a coffee ice cream, (one of my favorites) ?
I know that I , for one, would really appreciate a lesson on these terms.
And, then there are all the food terms which use "de"; "du"; "de la" and "des" !
Help!
Par exemple - pouquoi est-ce qu'on dit "un sandwich au jambon" mais "un verre de vin" ?
May I suggest a lesson which addresses adjectives for foods and "la cuisine" ? After all France is known for its excellent cuisine!
I think it would be very helpful !
Merci a tous !

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!
is it possible for me to repeat this test? I pressed the wrong buttons and missed some questions.
Is there an easy way for me to access a French keyboard for these exercises?
I had written out the answers the first time I listened to the exercise and did a lot better on the handwritten exercises
I also did not complete all the exercises with each section and would like to go back to these
Can i say ‘vous allez devoir trouver’ ?
Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"
This is probably British slang for spend extravagantly. I have never heard this used in the U. S.
I think the native speaker would say 'I have hardly any' rather than 'I hardly have any'. 'Hardly any' is an expression, I think.
