dont ask to ask, just ask :3

[fossil flax]

So when the place is masculine would it be au le café or au café

[astral moss]

à + le = au

à + la = à la

à + les = aux

[fossil flax]

Okay so the le is not needed since its added to the au

[astral moss]

correct

[kind yarrow]

à and le (the definite article) obligatorily contract to au

[fossil flax]

So I could say va au boulangerie

[astral moss]

à la

[kind yarrow]

no, because boulangerie is feminine

[astral moss]

because tjats feminine

à la boulangerie

[fossil flax]

Sorry about that

[astral moss]

dw

[fossil flax]

va au centre-ville

[astral moss]

[fossil flax]

[fossil flax]

Thank you for your help

[kind yarrow]

le musée
la bibliothèque
l'arrêt de bus
les Tuileries (a garden in Paris)

→

je vais

• au musée
• à la bibliothèque
• à l'arrêt de bus (l' regardless of if it's masculine or feminine doesn't contract)
• aux Tuileries (les always contracts with à to form aux regardless of gender)

va au centre-ville works

it's imperative

[astral moss]

En - Fem Country (En France)

Aux - Plural Countries (Aux Etats-Unis - United StateS of America)
