You can say Parles-tu français as well. It’s not incorrect. It’s just more formal. Tu parles francais is correct if you add the intonation at the end. Kind of like Valley Girl upspeak here in Southern California. Your voice raises at the end of a sentence and makes it sound like you’re asking a question. Valley Girl upspeak is unintentional and we do it without thinking lol
a) Parles-tu français ? This is the inverted form of a question, commonly used in formal or written French. It's grammatically correct and sounds more formal. b) Est-ce que tu parles français ? This is the standard spoken form. It's polite and neutral, often used in everyday conversations. "Est-ce que" introduces the question, and it's widely accepted in both formal and informal settings. c) Tu parles français ? This is the informal spoken form, where intonation alone indicates a question. It's commonly used in casual conversation but can sound too informal in certain contexts. In summary: Use a) in formal or written contexts. b) is versatile and can be used in almost all situations. c) is reserved for informal, casual speech.
With questions 25, I have seen from other French study that 'on' is generally used in informal spoken language instead of ''nous''. The 'we'' conjugation is seen to be more formal and used more in written French. Is this not the case, in your opinion?
"Où allons-nous demain ?" and "Où est-ce qu'on va demain ?" are correct, but they have slightly different levels of formality and nuances: "Où allons-nous demain ?" This is a more formal and grammatically correct way of asking "Where are we going tomorrow?" "Nous" is the formal pronoun for "we." It is used in more formal conversations, writing, or when speaking to people you don't know well. "Où est-ce qu'on va demain ?" This is more informal and conversational. "On" is often used in spoken French instead of "nous" and can mean "we" in informal contexts. It is commonly used in everyday speech and casual conversations. In summary: Use "nous" in formal contexts or writing. Use "on" in informal situations.
Wow

Hope this explanation helps❤
@@teewhyfrenchub Thank you. So it has the similar differentiation to 'tu' vs 'vous" in terms of formal vs informal (except for the written aspect).
