Questions & Answers about Je vois les montagnes quand je marche dans le parc.

Why is the definite article les used before montagnes?

Les is the definite article, indicating a specific group of mountains. It suggests that both the speaker and the listener either know which mountains are being referred to, or that these mountains are generally known or visible from the park.

Is there a difference between Je vois les montagnes and Je vois des montagnes?

Yes. Je vois les montagnes points to a particular set of mountains (for example, the ones near the park). Je vois des montagnes would mean seeing some mountains, without specifying which particular ones.

How do I conjugate the verb voir in the present tense for je, tu, il/elle, and so on?

• Je vois (I see)
• Tu vois (you see)
• Il/Elle voit (he/she sees)
• Nous voyons (we see)
• Vous voyez (you see, formal or plural)
• Ils/Elles voient (they see)

Why do we use quand in this sentence?

Quand means "when" and introduces the time-related condition: it's talking about the moment or situation in which you see the mountains (specifically, during your walk in the park).

Should I use dans le parc or au parc, and why?

Both can be correct, but dans le parc emphasizes being physically inside the park, whereas au parc is more general and can sometimes suggest going to or being at the park. In this context, dans le parc clarifies that the walking takes place inside the park.
