| 16.6.4.6 On = impersonal (unknnown) subject |
On does not really have an equivalent in English, or rather said, the equivalent
one is not used as often as the French
on.
| Example |
 |
On doit y aller. |
| |
One has to go. |
Sometimes
on is also used for the personal pronoun
we.
| Example |
|
On y va? |
| |
Do we go? (Let us go.) |
On in connection with
devoir can also be substituted by
il faut.
| Example |

ne devrait pas le croire. |
One should not believe this. |
|
Il
ne faut
pas le
croire. |
One should not believe this. |
