I found a great source for learning french from grammar to correct pronunciation altogether with easy explanations. I was about to say that this subject pops up every couple of days and act exasperated ;- But your post is about offering help and not asking for it.
Maybe if you changed the subject to better reflect that you'd get more upvotes Just saying. The pronoun "on" is much more used in Quebec than it is in France, I think, as we do not really use "nous" as much.
I'd argue that "on" makes it easier, because it regularizes another group of people into a conjugation that already corresponds to "elle" et "il". Language economy and all! Hum, what do you mean, "don't try to ignore things that don't exist in English"?
I'm for sure not kidding you, and I have really no idea why you think you need to point out that French is not English. I am quite aware of it, and usually I can say I'm aware of the specificity of my language. Because maybe you misunderstood me To you, and to Khaur, I have to say, I did not make a statement about the statistical use of "on" in France, I just brought it up because it felt like my French-from-France family use the form "nous" more than the people around me in Quebec usually do, or so it felt.
That said, it does not surprise me that "On" is so used all around. So cheers to that! Who's on first? No, I didn't ask if who is on first, what's on second?
No, what is on third Oh brother. I refer you to the classic joke of misunderstanding eachother by Abbott and Costello, speaking of a baseball game. Some of the comments here remind me of that, as it was just on tv. Merci mon aimes. He he.
On is very used in France as well, we almost never say nous in informal conversation. Because many people learning french on this site start with english.
In english the verb is the same regardles of who we are regarding. So while it may seem simple to some, others have difficulty grasping the differance between the languages. That's not entirely true: the third person singular is different. And to be has a first person singular version as well.
So conjugation isn't entirely foreign to English, it's just a lot simpler and more regular in English than it is in French or other languages. Please don't ever say that to anyone ever.
