Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

À + le = au
À + les = aux

De + le = du
De + les = des

De + des = de

"à des" ne change pas

J'ai toujours cru que ça change 😶
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !

This is a direct copy of something I found online:

À des vs Aux
The choice between "à des" and "aux" is based on whether you're referring to a definite or an indefinite group of nouns. "Aux" is used for specific, definite nouns, while "à des" is used for nonspecific, indefinite nouns.

Examples:

J'ai parlé aux professeurs, nous irons aux Etats-Unis.

Je donne des livres à des étudiants, ils offrent des solutions.

So aux is specific, à des is not

But my teacher say that it isn’t as common to say that and that it’s more common to say “à certains ____”

stuff like that

This is just what I’ve figured out but I may be wrong
