You ask: "WE M are the viewers watching?"
Answer: "DE M Tennis game!"
This M is, so to speak, an indicator for the tripod if you do not have the corresponding question in the (mother-language) feeling.
Can you explain that? I mean, it's the object you look at? (direct object?)
The technical expression "direct object" (if you refer to it) has nothing to do with where you look "directly". This is simply another name for the set-up battery object – it also has nothing to do with actual objects in the real world.
view/view + dative
a em Seeing people in an activity:
a he View activity:
Is the word "beim" the abbreviation for " for de m?
Yeah.
Who are they looking at? Of course they look at them! Who else are they supposed to look at?
OmG!
Yeah, with them!

Dative.
Why?
This is German grammar. Being taught at school, about fifth grade.
It means watching the Siel and not watching the game
Who or what are the spectators watching? The tennis game.
What are you going to tell me?
Yes!
If:
"The Game" -> Accurate?
It means the watching game and not the view game
Unfortunately, don't help me…the explanation… but thank you!
Isn't it the direct object?
Because the spectators look at the game.
Or how do you explain that?
