Questions & Answers about À demain, Madame !

Why does À demain translate to "See you tomorrow" when à means "to"?
In French, the word à is frequently used with time words to say goodbye until a specific time. You can think of it as meaning "until" in this context, as in "Until tomorrow!". Other common examples you will learn are à plus tard (see you later) and à bientôt (see you soon).
Why is there a space before the exclamation mark?
In French writing rules, you must always put a space before any punctuation mark that is made of two parts. This includes exclamation marks (!), question marks (?), colons (:), and semicolons (;).
Why is Madame capitalized here?
When you are speaking directly to someone and using a title of respect like Madame (Madam/Mrs.) or Monsieur (Sir/Mr.), you capitalize it just like you would a person's name.
