Est-ce que tu vois tous les détails sur la photo ?
Do you see all the details on the photo?
From Lesson 76:The indefinite adjective (tout, tous)·French

Questions & Answers about Est-ce que tu vois tous les détails sur la photo ?

Why is it tous les détails and not tout les détails?
Tout has to agree with the noun it describes. Since détail is a masculine word, and it is plural here (les détails), you must use the masculine plural form: tous.
Do I pronounce the "s" at the end of tous in this sentence?
No, the "s" is completely silent here. When tous is placed before a noun to mean "all the" (tous les détails), it is pronounced exactly like tout. You only pronounce the "s" when tous stands alone as a pronoun to mean "everyone" or "all of them".
Why use sur instead of dans for "in the photo"?
In English, you see things "in" a picture, but in French, you see things "on" (sur) a picture. You will also use sur for screens, the internet, and television (like sur mon téléphone or sur Internet).
Could I just say Tu vois tous les détails sur la photo ? without est-ce que?
Yes! Dropping est-ce que and just raising your pitch at the end of the sentence is very common in casual, spoken French. Adding est-ce que simply makes it a standard, clear question right from the start.
