Hi David,

actually, no. On always uses 3rd person singular for the verb. Therefore there can sometimes be an apparent mismatch between verb and participle:

On s'est rencontrés hier. -- We met yesterday.

-- Chris (not a native speaker).

But in one lesson dealing with "on" there were various examples when one used the third person singular or the first person plural. This question as I remember that past lesson indicated that the first person plural should be used in such an instance as this

Hi David,

In the example you give , it is always:

On verra

Nous verrons

and will mean the same thing.

Hope this helps!
