Formal:
* Chez: This is the most common and versatile way to say "at the house of." It is used for both singular and plural subjects.
* Example: "Je suis chez Marie." (I am at Marie's house.)
* Example: "Ils sont chez les Dubois." (They are at the Dubois' house.)
Informal:
* À la maison de: This is more literal and less common than "chez," but it can be used for emphasis or when you want to be more specific.
* Example: "J'ai passé la soirée à la maison de Jean." (I spent the evening at Jean's house.)
Other variations:
* Au domicile de: This is a more formal way to say "at the residence of."
* Dans la maison de: This is even more literal and emphasizes the actual house.
The best option will depend on the specific situation and the level of formality you need.
