[foggy silo]

Neh it not like de

[open grotto]

What is it like

Why do I say it?

[foggy silo]

I have a lot of chores to conplete

[open grotto]

Yes I know that

But what is à doing here

That’s my question

[white parrot]

you need it to link the noun with the verb

[foggy silo]

It function the saem way as to
Exanple

J'ai tant de travail à faire
Cette drôle de chose est à manger

You use à because the action is done on the thing before it

[open grotto]

Isn’t That like de then

[white parrot]

you just can't say taches accomplir, you need the á to make it work grammatically

[white parrot]

they're both prepositions that can link verbs, just in different contexts

[open grotto]

What does à mean here

[white parrot]

in this context, it is à

[open grotto]

Ohh yes

Similar then

[white parrot]

yes

[open grotto]

Yay thanks guys

[white parrot]

but in this case, it doesn't make sense to use de

so you have to remember not to

[open grotto]

💓💓💓💓 Tysmmm

[open grotto]

Kk

[foggy silo]

Do u undastand why à not de

Is cleer

Nameless im sure i said not sufficing pls expand

[glad trench]

À accomplir refers to tâches, the structure à + infinitive expresses a sort of passive construction. Tasks that need to be completed, basically.

[open grotto]

Is it because it’s a verb linked with a thing

Ohh yes

[foggy silo]

Oui the thing before à subit l'action

Sorry if not clear my english

[open grotto]

Don’t worry 💓💓
