よくある質問

How is 'a' different from 'en'?

'A' generally implies movement toward a destination ('Voy a la casa' - I am going to the house). 'En' implies being inside or on top of a place ('Estoy en la casa' - I am in the house). They are opposites in this sense.

When do I use 'a' for time vs. 'en' for time?

Use 'a' for specific clock times ('a las cinco'). Use 'en' for months, years, seasons, or general time periods ('en julio', 'en verano').
