On a dit la veritéEven when on means we, it is still conjugated as a singular person. I seem to think that sometimes it changes to a plural conjugation, is that when the verb is conjugated with être?

in present and future tenseHi, do I understand it correctly that one always uses ou regardless of the tense? Like for example in "the day I will marry" or "today is the day I go skiing for the first time" or something like that?
