on est passés

The test I have just completed had 'on est passés' - but why the 's'? Surely 'on' is masculine and so there would is no need?

Salut Mark,

On --> somebody or someone

We (Nous)

So depending upon the context "On est passés" could refer to two or more subjects, hence "On est passés".

Bonne journée
