Published 2021-09-15
Using the french preposition à in French can be a little bit tricky because it will change when followed by le or les. We can find it as à - au - à la - à l' and aux.
We use the preposition à to:
- Talk about location - à Paris, au Canada, etc.
- Talk about distance, time, age, and rate: à 5 heures, à 35 ans, etc.
- Talk about manner and characteristic: Un pull fait à l'ancienne
- Talk about possession: être à quelqu'un
- Talk about food and how it is made: un thé à la vanille
- Talk about specific ways of transportation: à vélo
- Talk express pain: avoir mal à l'estomac
- With names of festivities: à Noël
- Show the purpose of something: un verre à vin
- With ways to say goodbye: à demain

    Hands down the best video clearly explaining this and 'de' in the other video. Way clearer than a very popular channel out there that just puts together a random video with no structure at all. Won't name anyone. Your videos are very well structured and very very clearly explained. thank you so much. Structure and clarity is so important when something is already so confusing. 👏
