In French, what is the difference between "an" and "année"?

Question

Answer

There is a difference. When you are talking about the year as a whole, you say "an". So you count with the word "an". (If there is a "full" number, better use "an")

"Année" is when you are talking about it's content. You'd say "bonne année" for example. Also use "année" if you're using position (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd...) "La première année est la plus difficile".
