Questions & Answers about Il a regardé la roulette et le croupier.
How would this sentence change if he watched 'everything' instead of the roulette and the dealer?
To say 'He watched everything,' you use the pronoun tout. In compound tenses like the passé composé, tout is placed between the auxiliary verb (a) and the past participle (regardé), making it: Il a tout regardé.
Why isn't there a preposition after regardé to mean 'looked at'?
In French, the verb regarder is a direct transitive verb, meaning it connects to its object without a preposition. Even though we say 'to look at' in English, in French it is simply regarder followed directly by the object (la roulette).
Why did we use regardé here instead of vu (seen)?
