Questions & Answers about Nous travaillons dans la ville tous les jours.

Why do we use nous instead of on here?
French speakers often use on (third-person singular) informally to mean we, but in more formal language or writing, nous (first-person plural) is the standard way to say we. In this sentence, using nous is correct and slightly more formal.
Why is the verb form travaillons?
The verb travaillons is the first-person plural present tense of travailler (to work). In French, each subject pronoun changes the ending of the verb. Since our subject is nous, we use travaillons.
Why do we say dans la ville instead of en ville?
Dans la ville emphasizes being physically located inside the city limits, while en ville is a more general phrase meaning in town. Both can be correct depending on context, but dans la ville highlights the internal aspect.
What is the function of tous les jours?
Tous les jours means every day and indicates the frequency of the action. Literally, it translates as all the days, and it’s a common way to express a daily routine in French.
Can I place tous les jours elsewhere in the sentence?
Yes, you can say something like Tous les jours, nous travaillons dans la ville. Placing tous les jours at the beginning slightly emphasizes the routine action. However, it’s typically most natural at the end or the beginning of the sentence.
