the location of tout
This question relates to:French lesson "Tout/tous/toute/toutes = Everything/all (of them)/whole/completely in French"
Asked 4 years ago

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!
