[tion] sounds like 'attention'.
There is only one present tense in French which conveys the simple and continuous present tenses in English.
The preposition à means 'to' as well as 'at' and follows the verbs 'donner', 'parler' and 'demander'.
There is not always a translation ncessary for 'à' in English but it should never be omitted in French .

Like in English, French has two present tenses.

There is no 'be -ing' in French. There is only one present tense for both the simple present and continuous present.
