- This pronoun can use as the pronoun " WE", but with the same ending as "Il/Elle".
For example, you can say " Nous sommes grands " and " On est grands " either. There's no differences.

- You can use it as an impersonal pronoun, the equivalence could be " some people say ", or " they say ", or whatever translation that refers to rumor, general thoughts....

For example, in frenhc you'll say " On dit qu'il est intelligent " and you'll translate " Some people say he's clever "

WARNING : " One " always ends with the third singular ending!!
