Les Prépositions
Learn and practice French prepositions in this post: Les prepositions – French Grammar. Prepositions (les prépositions) are small but essential words that link elements of a sentence together. They are placed after a verb, noun, or adjective in order to indicate the relationships between that word and the noun that follows. In French, there are simple prepositions (à, de, chez, etc.) as well as longer prepositional phrases (d’après, près de etc.).
Let’s begin with two important ones that we use most of the time: From and To. In French:
The Preposition “From” can be: DE – DU – DES – D’
de: city de: Fem. country du: Masc. country des: Masc. and plu. country d’: starting with vowel
The Preposition “ In / to ” can be : À – EN – AU – AUX
à: city en: Fem. country au: Masc. country aux: Masc. and plural country
