Jusqu'à is a French preposition that translates to "until" or "up to" in English. It is used to indicate a point in time or a limit.

As a temporal indicator, jusqu'à signifies the end of a period or duration. For example, "Je travaillerai jusqu'à 17 heures" means "I will work until 5 PM." It can also denote the final moment of an event, such as "La fête a duré jusqu'au petit matin," meaning "The party lasted until dawn."

Jusqu'à also functions as a spatial or quantitative limit. In a spatial sense, it indicates the furthest point reached. For instance, "Nous avons marché jusqu'à la rivière" translates to "We walked up to the river." Quantitatively, it can signify a maximum or a range. An example would be "Le prix peut monter jusqu'à 100 euros," meaning "The price can go up to 100 euros."

The preposition jusqu'à is often followed by the definite article "le," "la," "les," or the contracted forms "au" (à + le), "à la," "aux" (à + les), depending on the gender and number of the noun that follows. When used with a pronoun or proper noun, it is often just "jusqu'à." The preposition can also be used in an abstract sense to denote the extent of something, like "jusqu'à preuve du contraire" which means "until proven otherwise."
