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.
What is wrong with the first?
Why is it "Tarte au Maroilles" and not "Tarte aux Maroilles"?
Why not "était" instead of "a été" ?
Oui, je sais, c’est vraiment bête, why not c'était vraiment bête,
Le pauvre Tom n’arrêtait pas de dire pardon, Tom was'nt stopping saying pardon, instead of why not use ? Le pauvre Tom n'a pas arrêté de dire pardon, Tom did stop saying pardon,
Tom did not stop saying pardon, or Tom ne arréterait pas de dire pardon, Tom would not stop saying pardon.
I find these tenses very confusing,

Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
