Key learning points
- Some verbs take à or de before a noun; it's important to learn each verb together with its required preposition.
- The forms of 'à' and 'de' change before masculine and plural nouns to 'au', 'aux', 'du' and 'des'.
- Learn the genders of all nouns so that you know which form of 'à' or 'de' to use.
Keywords
Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word
Common misconception
Learning genders is not as important as learning the noun itself.
Leaning the genders of words is essential because it affects other parts of the sentence such as which form of 'à/de' to use before a noun.
