Questions & Answers about En juillet, nous allons en France.

Why is July written with a lowercase 'j' in juillet?
In French, the names of months and days of the week are not capitalized unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
Why do we use en before juillet?
To say 'in' a specific month, French always uses the preposition en. For example, en août (in August) or en décembre (in December).
Why is it en France instead of à France to say 'to France'?
French countries have genders. Because France is a feminine country (most countries ending in an 'e' are), you use en to mean 'to' or 'in'. If it were a masculine country, like Canada, you would use au instead (au Canada).
What verb does allons come from?
It comes from aller, which means 'to go'. It is a very common but irregular verb, meaning it doesn't follow the normal spelling rules. For 'we go', the form to memorize is nous allons.
