From Lesson 76:The indefinite adjective (tout, tous)·French

Questions & Answers about Vous lisez toutes les pages.

Why is it toutes here instead of tout or tous?
The word for 'all' changes to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. Because page is a feminine noun, and we are talking about plural pages, we use the feminine plural form: toutes.
Can I just say toutes pages like 'all pages' in English?
No, you always need the definite article (le, la, l', or les) between tout and the noun. In French, you are literally saying 'all the pages', so it must be toutes les pages.
Is the 's' at the end of toutes pronounced?
No, the 's' in toutes is silent (it sounds like 'toot'). You only hear the 't' at the end. There is also no linking sound (liaison) with the next word because les starts with a consonant.
I forgot, is lisez a regular verb?
No, lisez is from the irregular verb lire (to read). While it does use the standard -ez ending for vous, you have to memorize its other forms, like je lis (I read) and nous lisons (we read).
