admin“Tout” means “All” and is used in many common expressions in French. I have decided to write a list of 10 very Useful Phrases with “tout”. You will see that sometimes it is not very easy to work out what they mean. I suggest you listen to the audio and try to repeat each phrase as often as you can.
| Français | Anglais |
|---|---|
| Tout va bien | All is well |
| Tout à fait | Completely, exactly |
| Tout de suite | Immediately |
| Tout d'un coup | All of a sudden |
| Tout à l'heure | In a little while/ a short while ago |
| Tous les jours | Every day |
| Pas du tout | Not at all |
| Tout le temps | All the time |
| Tout le monde | Everyone |
| Pour tout dire | To be honest |

Thanks for these, I’ve added them to my Brainscape app (It’s good, basically flashcards for your iPhone).
I also added ‘toute la journée’ & ‘toujours’ which I confuse with ‘tous les jours’

Great work Rachel! And yes, they are very useful indeed! A lot of people get confused with “toujours” & “tous les jours”…Practice them every day and you’ll be able to use them perfectly well very soon 😉
