On (impersonal)
‘On’ is an impersonal pronoun that can mean ‘we’, ‘one’, or ‘people in general’, often used in spoken French for a casual ‘we’.
Pouvoir (peut)
‘Peut’ is the third‑person singular present of ‘pouvoir’, meaning ‘can’ or ‘is able to’.
Indirect object pronoun (te)
‘Te’ replaces ‘to you’ (informal). It must agree with the verb that follows (donner).
Infinitive after pouvoir (donner)
When ‘pouvoir’ is followed by another verb, that verb stays in the infinitive.
Article‑noun agreement (les tarifs)
‘Les’ is the plural definite article that must match the plural noun ‘tarifs’.
Adjective agreement (actuels)
Adjectives placed after the noun agree in gender and number: ‘actuels’ matches the masculine plural ‘tarifs’.

✕Common Mistakes
On peut vous donner les tarifs actuels.
Mixing the informal ‘te’ with the formal ‘vous’ creates a register clash.
On peut te donner le tarif actuel.
‘Tarif’ is singular; the adjective must agree (actuel).
On peut te donner les tarifs actuelles.
‘Tarifs’ is masculine, so the adjective must be masculine plural ‘actuels’.

Cultural Tip
‘On’ is informal and works well among friends or in a relaxed business setting. If you’re speaking to a client you don’t know well, switch to the formal ‘nous’ and the pronoun ‘vous’: ‘Nous pouvons vous donner les tarifs actuels.’ The choice of ‘te’ vs. ‘vous’ signals the level of familiarity.
