'on' may be anyone. It could be translated 'one' in English.

'on dit que la grippe est mauvaise cette année' (one says the flu is nasty that year)

The verb following 'on' is written in the third person singular, the same form we use for 'il, elle'.

'nous' is translated 'we' in English. The people in 'nous' can be identified.

'nous allons au cinéma' (we're going to the movie)

BUT: we sometimes use 'on', informally to mean 'we'

'on va au cinéma ?' (do we go to the movie?)
