égal (à)

Is there any case where à is needed? Or is this just a matter of preference? Thanks.

Bonjour J,

When égaler means "to equal" you don't need à.

When it means "to compare/rank" you do:

Ce roman n'égale pas à Madame Bovary.

Is there any case where à is needed? Or is this just a matter of preference? Thanks.
