Questions & Answers about D'accord, on va au musée ensemble.
Why does the sentence use on instead of nous for "we"?
In everyday spoken French, people almost always use on instead of nous to say "we". Even though it means a plural "we", the pronoun on always uses the same verb endings as "he" or "she" (il or elle). That is why it is paired with va instead of allons. Why is it au musée instead of à le musée?
In French, the preposition à (to) and the masculine word le (the) always smash together to form the single word au. Because musée is masculine, "to the museum" must be au musée. You will never see à le written together. What does d'accord literally mean?
It literally means "of agreement". It is a combination of de (of) and accord (agreement). This is the standard, everyday French way to say "okay" or "I agree". Would ensemble need an "s" at the end since "we" refers to more than one person?
No, ensemble (together) never changes its spelling. It is an adverb describing how you are going, rather than an adjective describing the people themselves, so it does not need to match the plural group. Learn D'accord, on va au musée ensemble and more in French
