Hi! How do I know when to use au vs. à when it precedes a possessive adjective? For example:
Je vais à/au ma voiture
Bienvenue à/au mon musée
Does it depend on the gender of the object? Thanks!!!
Expressing cause with "Pour (+être) allé" = For going/having gone in French
I am unsure why «pour avoir (past participle)» is sub-headed 'simple expression' and «pour être (past participle)» is sub-headed "complex expression". Is it because the latter lesson also includes reflexives, or am I missing some other complexity with «être»? The lessons and phrases seem otherwise essentially identical, using avoir or être as required by the verb in infinitif passé form.
Please advice which is correct and why?
- Les personnes des nationalites differents
or
- Les personnes de nationalites differents
