✕Common Mistakes
C'est toujours à 123 Main Street ?
Using 'toujours' to mean 'always' in a location question is wrong; here it means 'still'. Make sure the context is clear.
C'est toujours à le 123 Main Street ?
Do not use 'à le' separately; it must be contracted to 'au' before a masculine noun or place.
C'est toujours le 123 Main Street ?
Missing the preposition 'au' makes the sentence sound like you are naming the street as a noun rather than indicating location.

Cultural Tip
In French, street names are usually written with the article before the number (e.g., 'le 10 rue de la Paix'), but when the street name is in English you keep the original order and omit the French article. Also, French speakers often prefer the formal inversion 'Est‑ce que…' for clarity in spoken questions.
