Sentence structure and meaning

 If "Vous faites tous vos devoirs?" ranslates as "Are you all doing your homework?" Then, how does one say "Are you doing all of your homework?" in French?

Good question Teal S.,

You would only tell the difference by how 'tous' is pronounced.

Vous faites tous vos devoirs ? = Are you all doing your homework? 

Here, 'tous' is pronounced "toos"

Vous faites tous vos devoirs ? Are you doing all of your homework?

Here, 'tous' is pronounced "too"

For more information, take a look at the following lesson, and in particular from:

Tous/Toutes= [all of them]

Tout/tous/toute/toutes = Everything/all (of them)/whole/completely in French
