Hi there, I was wondering if you could clarify when one should use "à" versus "en" to mean "to" or "at".
Par exemple dans cette phrase: j'enverrais régulièrement en prison. Why wouldn't it be j'enverrais... à prison?
Thanks!

Hi Ash,
No particular rule it's just a case a learning the expression with the correct preposition in this case -
envoyer quelqu'un en prison = to send somebody to prison
and no, you cannot use, à here.
Bonne Continuation!
