  • 3 Usage note : all

    When all is used to mean everything, it is translated by tout:
    is that all?
    = c’est tout?
    all is well
    = tout va bien
    When all is followed by a that clause, all that is translated by tout ce qui when it is the subject of the verb and tout ce que when it is the object:
    all that remains to be done
    = tout ce qui reste à faire
    that was all (that) he said
    = c’est tout ce qu’il a dit
    after all (that) we’ve done
    = après tout ce que nous avons fait
    we’re doing all (that) we can
    = nous faisons tout ce que nous pouvons
    all that you need
    = tout ce dont tu as besoin
    When all is used to refer to a specified group of people or objects, the translation reflects the number and gender of the people or objects referred to ; tous is used for a group of people or objects of masculine or mixed or unspecified gender and toutes for a group of feminine gender:
    we were all delighted
    = nous étions tous ravis
    ‘where are the cups?’ ‘they’re all in the kitchen’
    = ‘où sont les tasses?’ ‘elles sont toutes dans la cuisine’
    For more examples and particular usages see the entry all.
    As a determiner
    In French, determiners agree in gender and number with the noun they precede. So all is translated by tout + masculine singular noun:
    all the time
    = tout le temps
    by toute + feminine singular noun:
    all the family
    = toute la famille
    by tous + masculine or mixed gender plural noun:
    all men
    = tous les hommes
    all the books
    = tous les livres
    and by toutes + feminine plural noun:
    all women
    = toutes les femmes
    all the chairs
    = toutes les chaises
    For more examples and particular usages see the entry all.
    As an adverb
    When all is used as an adverb meaning completely it is generally translated by tout:
    my coat’s all dirty
    = mon manteau est tout sale
    he was all alone
    = il était tout seul
    they were all alone
    = ils étaient tout seuls
    the girls were all excited
    = les filles étaient tout excitées
    However, when the adjective that follows is in the feminine and begins with a consonant the translation is toute/toutes:
    she was all alone
    = elle était toute seule
    the bill is all wrong
    = la facture est toute fausse
    the girls were all alone
    = les filles étaient toutes seules
    For more examples and particular usages see the entry all.
    Phrases such as all along, all but, at all, for all and of all are each treated separately in the entry all.
