On cannot not specifically replace Tu

Question

Exactly! On means we, one, people. It does not mean you. So, if one did not check tu as a correct answer, then one should not have been marked wrong. On y va means let us go. It does not necessarily signify let's me and you go, even though on may include you. I think tu should not be included as a correct answer. Ok?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Wanda !You are correct when you say that "on" cannot replace "tu" (singular you). However, when used in a general sense, it can indeed have a similar meaning to "vous" (general, plural you).
Unfortunately, you haven't included the specific question you're referring to, so I cannot be more precise in my answer. I have reviewed all our questions, and didn't find any that suggested "tu" as an alternative to "on".
Please if you remember the question, let us know.Bonne journée !

Answer

I think this is in reference to the first practice question in this lesson. I also did not choose the option that implies "on" means "you" in English. I think "on" actually means "one" here, but English speakers often incorrectly or colloquially say "you" in place of "one".
