Dans cette phrase: ..."puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot de votre choix", est-ce qu'on peut écriver aussi "puis nous déjeunerons dans..." ?  Ce n'était pas claire qu'on doit utiliser le futur proche dans cette phrase.

The "h" is silent in "Le hockey"

Why use "on" to say " we" drank, we took etc. 

Is there a difference between using 

etre a + moi/toi/lui/... 

and

possessive pronous? 

Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other? 

For example: 

Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.
