Questions & Answers about Je marche tous les jours.

Why does it say les before jours?

Literally, tous les jours translates to all the days. In French, to express every for time periods like days, weeks, or months, you typically use tous les or toutes les followed by the plural noun.

Why is it tous and not tout?

The word for all has to match the noun it describes. Since jour is a masculine noun and we are talking about plural days, we use the masculine plural form, tous.

How is tous les jours different from the adverb toujours?

While toujours means always, tous les jours specifically means every day. Je marche toujours would mean I always walk, but tous les jours highlights that it is a daily routine.

Do I pronounce the s at the end of tous in this sentence?

No, the s is silent here. When tous is followed by les, it is pronounced just like the English word too.
