Hi @tribal robin
À - A city (à Paris)
Au - A+Le incl. Masculine Countries (Au restaurant, Au Brésil)
En - Feminine Countries (En France)
Aux - A+Les incl. plural countries (Aux écoles, Aux États-Unis)

À la - À la (feminine) - à la pisciine

[random herald]

there are also some countries that go with no article : Cuba, Madagascar, Taïwan, Singapour, Malte...

so you would say "je vais à Cuba"

[tribal robin]

ohh can those be used with objects? like instead of countries, can i use other words?

[calm granite]

you need an article before the object anyways

so
à + le = au (au Bar)
à + la = à la (à la gauche)
à + les = aux (aux écoles)
à (nouns) = à Marie

i added countries as an extra explaination given aux états-unis

[tribal robin]

ohh okay

that’s helpful actually, merci!
