Impersonal pronoun “On”
“On” is used like “we/they” in everyday French and often replaces “nous” in spoken language.
Future simple
The verb “envoyer” in the future simple is conjugated as “enverra” (he/she/it will send).
Combined object pronouns “t’en”
“t’” = indirect object pronoun (to you), “en” replaces a noun introduced by “de”, here “de ta carte d’embarquement”.
Preposition “par” + e‑mail
“Par” indicates the means of transmission; “e‑mail” (or “courriel”) is the modern word for electronic mail.

✕Common Mistakes
On te enverra ta carte d'embarquement par e‑mail.
The correct contracted form is “t’enverra”; “te” must be elided before the vowel of “en”.
On t'enverra ta carte d'embarquement par email.
The hyphen and the accent are standard in French: “e‑mail”.
On t'enverra la carte d'embarquement par e‑mail.
If you replace the noun with a pronoun, you must keep “en”: “On t’enverra la carte” → “On t’enverra”.

Cultural Tip
