difference #2 : vous
 “vous” is used to address someone formally

➔ Vous êtes très intéressante, princesse Splif
difference #3 : on
“on” is usually preferred over “we”
For example :

âž” On est lĂ pour aider
“on” can mean “one”

➔ Quand on joue avec un robot …
“on” can translate a passive voice
For example :

➔ On m’a donné un lingot d’or
