Quand j'étais enfant, je (apprendre) à nager.

Someone once shared a list of French verbs (probably from the lawless French) which take the preposition 'de' to denote "to do something with/by another thing", where intuitively one would want to use 'avec'. For example: 'La ville est entourée de collines.' Here, the natural translation is 'The city is surrounded by hills. Along the same line: 'Le jardin est recouvert de neige.' --> The garden is covered with snow!
Can anyone please share that list here also?
Why is the word order "Quelle rare connexion" and not "Quelle connexion rare" ?
