Does the "le" join to "à" to form "au" in "Après Lin a échoué à convaincre" or am I wrong?
1 Answer
In this case, à
does not join with le
because au
is the contracted article.
But in the phrase,
Lin a échoué à le convaincre
le is not an article but rather a personal pronoun (Lin convinced whom? him = le). It therefore remains à le
.
