Hi there, I was wondering if you could clarify when one should use "à" versus "en" to mean "to" or "at".
Par exemple dans cette phrase: j'enverrais régulièrement en prison. Why wouldn't it be j'enverrais... à prison?
Thanks!
Why does 'I love to dance' translate as J'aime beaucoup', whereas 'I love to shine' is simply 'J'aime'? How do we know when the speaker really likes something when its only implied? I have seen the unspoken 'beaucoup' in other exersizes as well.
In Latin and English a future active indicative sometimes acts as an imperative command, like "Thou shalt not steal." I'm curious if there is any parallel to this in French? Thank you!
