Hi KjayJ,
you need the right german preposition for your sentence. You wrote in the polite form so you have to capitalise the pronoun.
Wie denken Sie über seine Lieder.

Hi KjayJ,
you're welcome. German is not easy to learn. The main thing is you have fun.

OK. How about "Wie denkst du über seine Lieder?"? Because it was marked wrong.
Hi Rusmir,
I'm not totally sure. If you talk about duolingo maybe it is because of "wie"
I'm not a teacher for german (I just speak this language^^) but I would say "Wie denkst du über seine Lieder." is more colloquial. Try "Was denkst du über seine Lieder." This should be accepted.
best regards Angel
"Was denkst du von seinen Liedern" was rejected - why? - and "Was hältst du von seinen Liedern" was provided by Duo. "Halten" is not given as a translation of "think", nor is "think" given as a translation of "halten" in either of the two dictionaries I consulted.zcx
'Was denken sie die seine Lieder'. Please tell me just how wrong I am and why.
"Was denken sie über seine Lieder" would be correct. Denken + prep. über/an, hier "über". "Seine" (his) is a possesive and already implies "die": die (the) + von ihm (of him) = seine (his)

Would any of these work: "Was (or Wie?) denkst du von seinen Lieder?"? Thanks.
"Was denkst du von seinen Liedern?" and "Wie denkst du von seinen Liedern?" are both colloquial but work fine However, please note the -n for the Akkusativ plural in this case.
"Was meinst Du über seine Lieder" would be correct, but sounds strange to my German ears. Better use "Was hältst Du von.../ denkst Du von...".
Wie haeltst du von seiner Liedern ist OK. Aber warum nicht Wie denktst du über seine Lieder?
Wie hältst du von seiner Liedern is wrong.
Was hältst du von seinen Liedern is possible.
Wie denktst du über seine Lieder is also wrong.
