French Preposition à . The preposition à is generally summarized as “ to, at, or in ,” but it has quite a few more meanings and uses than that. Since a preposition precedes the noun, and articles (masculine or feminine) usually precede the noun, it looks as though it is an article and a preposition come as a pair.
Il s'agit d'une quantité indéterminée de choses dénombrables, ou dans le cas du partitif de choses indénombrables néanmoins considérées plurielles (des vivres, des ténèbres, etc.). Qu'il soit article indéfini ou article partitif, après une préposition de il disparait (comme dans l'exemple des matchs de foot donné plus haut).
The French preposition de is used in many contexts, but most often to indicate a change or movement from one state to another. It can be translated as "from," "of," or "about." De can be followed by a noun or its determiners (such as an article).
Note that when saying the country, region or state someone comes from in French, you use the verb venir followed by: - de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h) when the country/region/state is feminine. - du (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h) when the country/region/state is masculine. - des when the country/region/state is plural.
Common French Prepositions + Examples. Careful to note the difference between the il/elle/on form of avoir (a) and the preposition à . À bientôt ! (See you soon!) Pensez à manger. (Think about eating.) When de is before a vowel, h, or sometimes with y, it becomes d’. Elle se baigne depuis quinze minutes.
