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.

France is a country so an article is used.

Also why do we say “Elle travaille EN France”

#

I thought en was only for places starting with an vowel
