While walking in a hilly area, can I say the following?

1) I can see few hills some distance. :cross:

2) There are few hills some distance from me. :cross:

3) Look there is from some distance from you. :cross:

4) There is another hill some distance from that hill. :tick:

5) There are some hill some distance from here. :cross:

Please check my sentences.

See above. #1 and #3 are completely wrong. There are really basic errors in #2 and #5.

 

[Tdol]

I can see a few hills in the distance.

 

[tufguy]

Okay.

Why "some distance" is correct in number four and incorrect in other sentences?

I am confused where to use "in distance" and where to use "some distance". Could you please explain it to me? There isn't anything like "at distance" am I correct?

"He is standing some distance from you" or "there is a TV some distance from me" are these sentences incorrect as well?

 

[emsr2d2]

1) I can see few hills in the distance. :tick: if you mean you can't see many hills. :cross: if you mean you can see a small number of hills.

2) There are few hills in distance from me. :cross: Same comment as #1 but you have missed a definite article as well.

3) Look there is a hill in distance from you. :cross: Missing punctuation near the start. You have missed a definite article. You need to remove the last two words.

4) There is another hill some distance from that hill. :tick:

5) There are some hills in the distance from here. :cross: Remove the last two words.

See above.

You are being very careless again, tufguy. How can you use "in the distance" correctly in sentences 1 and 5 but omit the article in posts 2, 3 and 4?

After this thread is finished, please go back to posting just one sentence per thread.

"He is standing some distance from you" or "there is a TV some distance from me" (or "there is a TV in the distance in the room") are these sentences incorrect as well?

Why is "some distance" [strike]is[/strike] correct in number four and incorrect in other sentences?
How many times do you think we've told you how to construct a question?

Both "some distance" (meaning "quite a long way away") and "in the distance" are acceptable. Neither "in distance" nor "at distance" can be used.

Your examples about the TV don't make sense. Unless you're in a huge room, a TV would never be far enough away to be described as being at any distance.

"He is standing some distance from you" is this sentence incorrect?

What is the way to say "there is a TV some distance from me" correctly?

When we say "in the distance" then we cannot use "from someone" but when we say "some distance" then we can say "from someone". Am I correct? But you are saying these can only be used for long distance.

If both are acceptable then why those sentences were incorrect? Could you please explain it to me I am really very confused?

Tufguy, please take some deep breaths and review what you know about how to write a question. You always need a verb after the wh-​ question word.

 

[GoesStation]

Please forget writing I see few hills. Although this is a correct sentence, it uses a pretty rare way to say "I don't see very many hills." You're probably trying to say I see a few hills,​ which means "I see some hills (but not very many)."

Sorry about my mistakes. Yesterday night I shouldn't have checked these questions. It was so hot here that I was unable to understand anything but replied. There was sweat in my eyes as well. I wasn't feeling like replying but I replied somehow because I had logged on to the forum and it would have been inappropriate to log out without replying. I shouldn't have done that. I wanted to complete it as soon as possible because it was 12:30 AM here and I was sleepy and unwell as well because of the hotness. I tried to reply and made a lot of mistakes. Sorry for those mistakes.

Could you please tell where we can use "some distance from someone" and where we can use "in the distance" to me? Could you please explain the difference between these two to me?

 

[Tdol]

Do you know the difference between these sentences?

I have a few friends.
I have few friends.

 

[tufguy]

Do you know the difference between these sentences?

I have a few friends.
I have few friends.

I think both mean the same thing.

Okay, thank you got it. But what it has to do with "in the distance" and "some distance from someone"?

Please review the right way to form a question.

The problem related to the phrases containing the word "distance" has nothing to do with the difference between "few" and "a few".

What has it to do with "in the distance" and "some distance from someone"? Is it correct now? But it sounds strange to me.

 

[Tdol]

Nope. It has to do with these points:

1) I can see few hills some distance.


2) There are few hills some distance from me.
