Questions & Answers about Ces rochers sont tout humides.
Why is it tout and not tous to match the plural rochers?
In this sentence, tout is an adverb meaning "completely," and adverbs normally do not change form to agree with nouns. The special, quirky rule for the adverb tout is that it only changes to agree with feminine adjectives that start with a consonant or an aspirated 'h'. Since rochers is masculine, tout stays strictly invariable here.
Do I pronounce the 't' at the end of tout before humides?
What is the difference between rochers and pierres?
Could I just say très humides or complètement humides instead?
