On (impersonal pronoun)
‘On’ is an indefinite pronoun that can mean ‘we’, ‘people’, or ‘one’; in spoken French it often replaces ‘nous’ in informal contexts.
t' (te) contraction
‘t'’ is the elided form of the object pronoun ‘te’ before a verb starting with a vowel or mute ‘h’.
enverra (future simple)
‘enverra’ is the third‑person singular future simple of ‘envoyer’ (to send). With ‘on’, the verb agrees in the third person.

‘un rappel’ means ‘a reminder’; the article ‘un’ marks it as an indefinite, single reminder.

Parfait, merci !
Perfect, thanks!
✕Common Mistakes
On te enverra un rappel.
The object pronoun must be contracted to ‘t'’ before a vowel‑initial verb.
On t'envoie un rappel.
The verb must be conjugated in the future simple; using present ‘envoie’ changes the meaning.
On t'enverra rappel.
Do not omit the article; ‘rappel’ alone sounds incomplete in this construction.

Cultural Tip
In French business etiquette, it’s common to confirm that a reminder will be sent, especially for meetings, deadlines, or payments. Using ‘on’ sounds friendly and less formal than ‘nous’, but still professional. Avoid sounding too pushy; pairing the phrase with a polite closing (e.g., ‘Cordialement’) keeps the tone courteous.
