What does à means in English?

"À" is a French word, not an English word. It's a preposition that means "to," "at," "in," or "on." It's commonly used in French for:

* Direction: "Je vais à l'école" (I am going to school)

* Location: "Le livre est à la table" (The book is on the table)

* Time: "À midi" (At noon)

* Possession: "Le livre est à moi" (The book is mine)

In English, we would use different prepositions depending on the context:

* To: "I am going to school"

* At: "The book is at the table"

* On: "The book is on the table"

* Mine: "The book is mine"

It's important to note that "à" can also be used in conjunction with other words to form different phrases, each with its own meaning.
