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 !
I used “Évidemment” instead of “Bien sûr” for the term “Of course”, and it was not included as any of the accepted terms. Could you please explain the appropriate use of “évidemment”? Several dictionaries translate it as “of course”, but perhaps there is a usage nuance that I do not understand?
Thank you for your remarkably helpful site!!
