When do you use aux the word for in french?

You don't use "aux" for the word "for" in French.

"Aux" is a contraction of "à les," meaning "to them," and is used when "à" (to) is followed by the plural definite article "les" (the).

Here's how you express "for" in French:

* For someone/something: Use the preposition "pour":

* *Je fais ça pour toi.* (I do this for you.)

* *J'ai acheté un cadeau pour ma mère.* (I bought a gift for my mother.)

* For a specific purpose: Use the preposition "pour":

* *J'utilise ce logiciel pour travailler.* (I use this software for work.)

* *Je suis allé au magasin pour acheter du pain.* (I went to the store to buy bread.)

* For a duration of time: Use the preposition "pendant":

* *J'ai travaillé pendant deux heures.* (I worked for two hours.)

* *Il a plu pendant toute la journée.* (It rained for the whole day.)

Remember: "Aux" is used in specific situations, and "for" is usually translated differently in French.
