   • 2021, Zaz, Tout là-haut:

     On oublie nos certitudes

     We forget our certainties

   On s’est amusés. ― We had fun.

• In informal and standard conversational French, on has almost completely replaced the pronoun nous (“we”) to indicate that a sentence or clause has a first-person plural as its subject. However, nous is still favored in formal writing and speech, and is still used colloquially as a disjunctive reinforcing nominative on, as well as to indicate direct and indirect objects. It may be used for reflexive objects, but as this is potentially ambiguous, these are also indicated with the reflexive pronoun se — especially with reinforcement from disjunctive nous, which clarifies that the speaker means "we" and not "one," i.e. a generalized indefinite subject. This clarification can also be achieved by the use of tous.

  On est toujours là. ― We're still here.

  Nous, on s’y fait. ― We get used to it.

  On connait tous la chanson qu’elle chante. ― We all know which song she is singing.

  Nous, on l’a tous vu. ― We all saw it.

• The verb is always conjugated in the third-person singular, but if the pronoun refers to a first-person plural, the attribute agrees in gender and number.

  On est venu ici. ― One came here.

  On y est allés / allées. ― We went there.

  On est prêts / prêtes. ― We are ready.

• The variant l’on is used in more formal or literary contexts. Some use it especially after que (que l'on) to avoid the contraction qu’on, which is homophonous with the vulgar word con.
