French for Holidays – Talking About Going Places in French
In this lesson, we learn how to say that you went to (or are going to) specific countries in French.
There are ten example expressions. You’ll notice that the construction ‘aller + to + country’ is used. The word for ‘to’ is ‘au’ and ‘aux’ for masculine and plural countries. For feminine countries, French uses ‘en.’ The distinctions are shown in purple.
Watch the video as many times as you need, until you feel you can give the French translations as we go!
