✕Common Mistakes
Super, on a hâte de voir toi.
Object pronouns must precede the infinitive; use ‘te voir’ not ‘voir toi’.
Super, on a hâte te voir.
The preposition ‘de’ is required after ‘hâte’; omitting it makes the sentence ungrammatical.
Super, on a hâte de vous voir.
Mixing informal ‘on’ with formal ‘vous’ can sound inconsistent; choose either fully informal (te) or fully formal (vous).

Cultural Tip
In everyday French, ‘on’ replaces ‘nous’ in most spoken contexts, especially among younger speakers. The phrase ‘avoir hâte de + infinitif’ is a fixed construction; you cannot replace ‘de’ with ‘à’. When speaking to someone you’d address formally, replace ‘te’ with ‘vous’ (e.g., ‘on a hâte de vous voir’). The interjection ‘Super’ is informal; in a more formal email you might use ‘Très bien’ or ‘Parfait’.
