I thought 'tous' was pronounced 'too' unless it was used as a pronoun meaning 'all (of us/them)'.
But in the example:
Je veux que vous ayez tous votre exam.
'tous' is pronounced 'Toos'.
Is this correct? If so, why?
In the example:
Il faut qu'ils aient leur permis de conduire.
They must get their driving licence.
Avoir us used here similarly to "avoir un exam". Here it means they must 'obtain' their driver's license.
But how would you say: "They must have their driver's license (with them)"?
Context might be one way, but if 'they' was ambiguous, the imperative sentence would be ambiguous.
Is this right
Les nouveaux voisins sont arrives.
Les nouvelles voisines sont arrives.
Sorry I can't work the accent for arrives.
