### "All", "every", and "the whole" with *tout*

To say "all", "every", or "the whole" in French, use the adjective **tout** followed by a definite article (**le**, **la**, **l'**, or **les**) and the noun.

Like other adjectives, **tout** must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes.

| | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| **Masculine** | tout | tous |
| **Feminine** | toute | toutes |

Use the singular forms (**tout** or **toute**) to talk about "the whole" of something. Use **tout** for masculine singular nouns and **toute** for feminine singular nouns:

{{item:867083}}

{{item:867065}}

Use the plural forms (**tous** or **toutes**) to talk about "all" or "every" of something. Use **tous** for masculine plural nouns and **toutes** for feminine plural nouns:

{{item:867068}}

{{item:867074}}

{{item:867077}}

*Pronunciation tip:* When **tous** is used before **les** and a noun (like in *tous les détails*), the final **s** is completely silent!
