'en' can be used both such as feminine and masculine noun?

If 'en' suppose to put before feminine country name, then why we should to put before masculine noun 'en hiver'? Could someone help me in this case?

Bonjour Mohammed,

"en" is a very versatile word in French. Generally it means "in" or "to" but not just that (as pointed out in the link that Jim has shared). 

Je vais en ville = I am going into town

Je voyage en train I travel by train

Je vais en France = I am going to France

Il neige en hiver = It snows in winter

Je coupe le gâteau en deux I cut the cake in two

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Many thanks to Céline and Jim. I highly appreciate that you have helped me indeed. To conclude such an issue I have to learn by heart because I have no other choice.

Best wishes, Msir
