How to Use On in French

You will have been taught that we in French is nous. Whilst true, in spoken French we often substitute nous for on. Since the conjugation for on is always the same as the conjugation for il there is no need to learn the conjugations for nous.

Don't learn any. use the same conjugation as you would for il and elle and just use on instead of nous.
Par example:

Nous y allons 
We go there, or let's go

Is replaced by:

On y va
Let's Go

Un autre example:

Nous avons beacoup de temps 
we have lot's of time

Is replaced by:

On a beaucoup de temp
we have lot's of time

Encore:

Nous mangons quoi aujourd'hui?
What are we eating today?

On mange quoi aujourd'hui?
What are we eating today?
