Questions & Answers about Tu as raison, on va partir plus tôt.

Why is it tu as raison and not tu es raison?

Because the idiom in French is avoir raison (to be right), not être raison. So you say tu as raison. The opposite is tu as tort (you’re wrong). There’s no article with raison here, and it doesn’t change for gender or number.

What does on mean here, and why not nous?

Here on means “we” in everyday French. It’s very common in speech and takes third-person singular verbs: on va. Nous is fine too and a bit more formal/written: nous allons partir plus tôt. For emphasis you can even hear: Nous, on va partir plus tôt.

Why is it va and not vas?

Because the subject is on. The present of aller is: je vais, tu vas, il/elle/on va, nous allons, vous allez, ils/elles vont. With on, use va.

What tense is on va partir, and how is it different from on partira?

On va partir is the near future (futur proche): aller + infinitive. It’s common, conversational, and often suggests intention or something imminent. On partira is the simple future (futur simple), a bit more neutral/formal or more distant. In many cases, both are possible; the near future feels more immediate.
