tous content or tout content

Question

Hi,

Sorry if my questions is repeated from below but difficult to go through it all but will the tout + adjective remain tout even for mas.plu?

i was confused from the notes too where it is: nous sommes tout impatients.

Bonjour Radhika,
Nous sommes tout impatients de venir ! = We're very impatient to come!
-> here "tout" means "very" / it's an adverb used to modify the intensity of an adjective = very/completely ; in this context, tout never changes in front of masculine adjectives.
Nous sommes tous impatients de venir ! = We're all impatient to come!
-> here "tous" means "all" / It is a pronoun which replaces already mentioned nouns (i.e. "nous - we/us") ; as such, "tous" agrees in gender with the things it's replacing.
 
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Right! what a silly grammar rule. sorry no offense:)) and sorry for making you explain what's clearly mentioned in the lesson.

so i am going to think like this. its tout always for masc and fem adjectives except that it takes its normal form in front of feminine aspirated h and consonants.
