Here we have a different form of the passé composé :
on a vu.
Just remember that some participles of the third group end with –u. It concerns such verbs as voir, entendre, pouvoir, vouloir and some others too.
J’ai vu, j’ai entendu, tu as pu, tu as voulu, il a su.
You already know how to count to vingt. Let’s continue to discover numbers.
That’s exactly the same with trente, quarante, cinquante or soixante.
Just remember there is always an exception with un : it follows the tens word but we join it with et and not with an hyphen. And numbers that contain un agree in gender with the noun they go with.
Il y a vingt et un pompiers ici / Il y a vingt et une filles dans cette école.
