Conjugate vouloir in the future tense in French (Le Futur Simple)
on nous voudrons
Un jour on nous voudrons acheter une maison. Qui est-ce que le function de mot on dans le phrase precedent?
Hi Raymond,
This lesson was to conjugate 'vouloir' in the future with the correct subject pronoun, here using 'on'.
On is another way of saying 'nous' but it agrees with the verb as with il or elle ( third person singular), and I will let you conjugate it.
You may want to look at this lesson to see how 'on' is used.
On can mean either we/one/people (French Subject Pronouns)
Bonne Continuation !
The tricky part in this sentence is to recognize that on is the subject and nous the indirect object.
On nous voudra acheter une maison. -- [lit.] We (on) will want to buy ourselves (nous) a house.
Chris, you have (inadvertently?) rewritten the sentence to be completed in Raymond’s example from the lesson to read ‘ buy ourselves a house’, but the French is incorrect.
The question in Raymond’s example was to be answered simply ‘un jour on voudra acheter une maison’. (noting Cécile’s response)
It would need to be ‘ un jour on voudra s’acheter une maison ’ or ‘ nous voudrons nous acheter une maison ’ if ‘ourselves’ is to be included as you have written. In the reworded sentence, it is also not correct to interchange ‘se ‘ and ‘nous’.
The object needs to go before the infinitive in the reworded sentence you have included.
