Cultural Tip
In everyday French, 'on' is far more common than 'nous' for the first‑person plural, especially in informal or semi‑formal settings. The near‑future construction (aller + infinitive) is a handy way to talk about imminent actions without sounding overly formal. Remember that 'quelques' already signals plurality, so you should not add the definite article 'les' before it.
