Questions & Answers about La directrice a rassemblé la totalité des dossiers sur son bureau.
How would I rewrite this sentence to use the pronoun tous (all of them)?
You could replace la totalité des dossiers with a direct object pronoun and tous, like this: La directrice les a tous rassemblés sur son bureau (The director gathered them all on her desk). In this case, tous acts as an indefinite plural pronoun rather than an adjective, which means you must pronounce its final 's'.
Why use la totalité des instead of just saying tous les?
Why is it son bureau when la directrice is a woman? Shouldn't it be sa?
Why doesn't the past participle rassemblé agree with the feminine subject la directrice?
