Did you know that when describing the material of something, French offers you two choices to describe it?
Take “a stone wall” for example, you would translate this in French to “un mur en pierre” or “un mur de pierre”. 🏰
Though there might be a subtle nuance between “en” and “de”, for most practical purposes, they're synonymous.
So whether you're walking down “un chemin en/de gravier” or wearing “un pull en/de coton”, you're expressing the material essence in French style. 🚶♂️🧥
