Notes

GENERAL INFO

Vont is a conjugated form of the verb "aller" (to go). It means "they go" or "they are going".

USAGE

It is used when the subject is "ils" (masculine they) or "elles" (feminine they).

Example: "Ils vont à l'école." (They go to school.)

Example: "Elles vont partir bientôt." (They are going to leave soon.)
