since On is used to refer to we/ people etc, why does it make use of the subject verb conjugation of il/elle. eg il est/ on est. Instead of On sommes

Sorry, if my questions may sound dumb but i am a curious person. Not satisfying my curiosity can keep me in a blank world of confusion.

His or her ex.Given the example:

Il rappelle son ex à Maria -> He reminds Maria of her ex.

Do we know here that it's Maria's ex rather than his ex? If we do, then how would we say his ex?

Subject pronouns in subjunctive

Hi,

I have a question about conjugating the verb in the sentence when you have two subject pronouns.

The sentence is below

Je doute que vous comprendre______ l'importance de cet evenement.

Do you use the pronoun that's closest to the verb? Because the answer is

Je doute que vous comprendriez l'importance de cet événement.

Thank you for help

Salute,

Recently I came across with the phrase le tour de magie, here tour is meaning trick, is that right? Would it be useful to include this meaning as well at this lesson?
