Bonjour et merci pour votre commentaire !

“On” is used all the time in modern French and it means "nous".
“On” always takes a “il” verb form (3rd person singular). We would never say “on sommes” or “on parlons”. “On” never takes a “nous” verb form, even when it does mean “nous”.

Nous mangeons = on mange
Nous Aimons Le Cinéma / On aime le cinéma
