Où accent grave

Kalpana S.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Hello: Please, could someone tell me the difference in usage between "ou" and "où." I'm tripped up once again by the diacritical marks.

Thank you in advance to all kind and patient souls.

Cheers!

Ou means "or" while Où means "where".

Par exemple:

- Est-ce que tu veux lire ou dormir ?

- Où se situe votre bureau?
