Translation of on

Mary D.A1Kwiziq community member

In lesson 2 of 10 in A1, on the quiz I was marked as incorrect when I included "He was not..." as a translation for "On..." They said that "we" and "you" were acceptable translations, but "he" was not. I do not understand why not. I watched the video & read the lesson, but it did not answer my question.

This question relates to:French lesson "On can mean either we/one/people (French Subject Pronouns)"

"He was not..." cannot be a translation of on, since, as you point out on cannot mean "he".

If that doesn't answer your question, maybe include the full sentence you feel you were graded wrongly.
