Merci!

Yes, you could say "Nous avons regardé le coucher du soleil" or use the imparfait: "Nous regardions le coucher du soleil"

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Definitely use the Passé Composé because of the English "watched." That implies that it is over and done with. The Impefect would imply "we were watching" and/or "we used to watch."
