Great thread idea! I'm here to help, aswell!

@toxicraider:
There's a difference between "a" and "à":
"a" is the verb "avoir" (to have) in the 3rd person of singular in present simple - j'ai, tu as, il/elle a (he/she has,) nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont.

"à" means "at":
Je suis à l'arrêt de bus - (I'm at the bus station.)

I know, but i'm too lazy to change the keyboard language to french to get the accents

was à paris as in to paris correct? i though In for towns was en but at was still à
