Simple French to English translation (French 1)?

I'm working on something for my class and am having difficulty with the very last question:



On peut aller o? pour acheter un pot de confiture ou une bouteille d'eau minerale. (I know theres an accent on mineral but my dad's computer doesn't have it in the special characters thing)



I'm translating that roughly as:

One little to go where for to buy a jar of jam or a bottle of water?Simple French to English translation (French 1)?
Where can you (you as in asking in general. on could also mean "we") go to buy a jar of jam or a bottle of mineral water?



I think you're mistaking "peut" for "peu", which means a bit/ a little.

Peut is the third conjugation of the verb "Pouvoir" (to can), and is used with il/elle and on
Where can one go to buy a jar of jam or a bottle of water?



"On peut" means "one can" from the verb "pouvoir".

"O?" means "where".

There should be a question mark at the end of the sentence.Simple French to English translation (French 1)?
Where can you go to buy ...?



Peu = little

Peut = can (pouvoir, verb)



où = where



I hope I could help you.



I'm french
