Questions & Answers about La traductrice choisit tous les projets.

Why is the word for translator traductrice instead of 'traducteuse'?
In French, nouns and adjectives that end in -teur usually change to -trice for their feminine form. Because the masculine word for translator is traducteur, a female translator is une traductrice.
Is choisit an irregular verb?
No, choisir (to choose) is a regular -ir verb. For the third-person singular (il, elle, or a noun like la traductrice), you drop the -ir and add -it, which gives us choisit.
Why do we use tous here instead of tout?
The word tout (all) has to agree with the noun it describes. Because les projets (the projects) is masculine and plural, you must use the masculine plural form, which is tous.
Do you pronounce the 's' at the end of tous in this sentence?
No, the 's' is silent here. When tous is placed right before a noun (like tous les projets), it is pronounced exactly like 'too'. You only pronounce the 's' when tous stands alone as a pronoun to mean 'everyone' or 'all of them'.
