Answer 1

  Etimologically, and in that sense - à -au - and aux  -mean "AVEC"

  

  exactly like in english "and" bread and butter - meaning bread with butter -

Answer 2

"au" is a contraction for "à le" (le = the)

wich you can use in "pain au chocolat" (I think you know what it is : a small "bread" with chocolate inside)

or in "je vais au cinema" "I'm going to the cinema" for example

...

and "aux" is a contraction for "à les" what is the plural of "au"

Answer 3

au or aux means with

au is the singular

aux is the plural

pain au chocolat = bread w/ chocolat (aka chocolate croissant)

croissant aux raisins = croissant with raisins

Answer 4

Au, Aux and En: can all be use to say "I live IN England" (J'habite EN Angleterre) OR "I live IN America" (J'habite AUX L'etats Units)

*They basically all mean 'In'. But they are plural, masculine and feminine, depending on the country's gender.

"Pain au chocolate" basically means "Bread in Chocolate".

So the 'Au' and 'Aux' means IN.

Pain au chocolate tends to be a croissant with chocolate in.

And yes, you're right: De, D' mean 'of'.

On the other hand, 'Da' isn't Fench.
