Questions & Answers about Elle est fatiguée tout le temps.

Why use tout le temps instead of toujours?
They mean almost the same thing! Tout le temps means "all the time," while toujours means "always." Notice the word order: tout le temps goes at the end of the sentence here, but a single-word adverb like toujours would go right after the verb (Elle est toujours fatiguée).
Why is there an extra "e" at the end of fatiguée?
In French, describing words (adjectives) have to match the person they describe. Because the subject is Elle (she), we add an "e" to the masculine form fatigué to make it feminine.
Does temps mean "time" or "weather"?
It can mean both! You have to tell from the context. Here, tout le temps is a fixed phrase that always means "all the time."
Do I pronounce the final letters in tout and temps?
No, the final "t" in tout is silent. In temps, both the "p" and "s" are silent as well.
