The Italian preposition a can mean "to," "at," or "in," depending on how you use it in context. You will need preposition a in the following cases:
+ }# F9 o- V0 k8 Q 1. To express the idea of going somewhere or staying somewhere (with names of cities):
( \6 u7 M3 E: y8 c Vado a Milano. (I go to Milan.)

3. The preposition a is also used with several verbs. Often those are verbs of motion, but in other instances it's a case of usage. That means either you'll have to commit them to memory, or, more likely, you'll grow accustomed to the usage over time as you listen and read Italian:! \) y. P1 c6 M; u, P- x* ~5 {0 s) u
