Questions & Answers about Le croupier a tout pris, la mise et le gain.
Why is tout placed between a and pris?
When tout is used as a neutral pronoun meaning everything, it goes between the auxiliary verb (a) and the past participle (pris) in compound tenses. This is why the sentence says a tout pris rather than a pris tout.
Why doesn't tout change form to agree with la mise et le gain?
Here, tout acts as an indefinite pronoun summarizing the whole situation, so it stays in its default invariable form. It isn't acting as an adjective modifying the specific nouns la mise or le gain.
Why doesn't the past participle pris add an agreement letter like -e or -s?
How does the word la mise translate to the bet?
The noun la mise comes directly from mis, which is the past participle of mettre (to put or place). In a gambling context, the money you have placed on the table is your bet or stake.
