Venir de vs. être de
This question relates to:French lesson "À = To/in and De = From/of with cities in French (French Prepositions of Location)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Betsy,
This particular lesson is about using the prepositions 'à' and 'de' with different cities.
It uses several verbs -
venir de, être de ( which means the same thing, to come from ) and revenir de ( to come back from), aller à ( to go to), etc.
Hope this helps!
