nous allons info.

Tips to remember “nous allons”:
1. Associate “nous allons” with the phrase “we go” or “we are going” by noticing the “nous” is similar to “us,” which implies a group (we), and “allons” sounds a bit like “all going” if you say it quickly.
2. Break it down into “all-(e)ons” and think of “all” as everyone included in “nous” and “-ons” as a common ending for “we” forms in French verbs.

Explanation:
“Nous allons” is the first-person plural present tense form of the verb “aller,” which means “to go.” In French, verbs are conjugated to reflect the subject and the tense.

Other words/phrases that mean the same thing:
– “On va” is a more informal way of saying “we go” or “we are going,” using the pronoun “on” which can also mean “we” in casual speech.
– “Nous partons” could be used too, depending on the context, which means “we leave” or “we are leaving.” “Partir” is another verb that often relates to going somewhere.
