Why dont we say that "J'ai entendu tout" like "Je comprends tout" but "J'ai tout entendu"?

Hi Hà Thu, 

Normally the placing of 'tout' for everything would be different in the present tense and in the perfect tense - 

Je comprends tout ---->  J'ai tout compris

J'entends tout -------->  J'ai tout entendu 

Je vois tout ------->  J'ai tout vu

Hope this helps!
