Où va-t-on mettre le sapin ?

Hello!

I am wondering why there is a '-t-' in the sentence  "Où va-t-on mettre le sapin ?"    Is this because it is using the reflexive version of the verb mettre?   If so why do we use the relflexive mettre in this instance?   Thank you.

Hi Liz, 

Below is the lesson you are looking for -

Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms

 

Bonne Continuation !

Just to spoil the beans:

The -t- in the question is there to separate the two vowels. Its only to improve pronouncability.
