French-English translation of a
The preposition à, often meaning to, in(to) or at, combines with the definite article to produce the following contracted forms. These forms thus all have the rough meaning of "to the...", "in(to) the...", "at the...":
With la and l', the corresponding forms are à la and à l' as expected.
