Tous m'a félicité
This question relates to:French lesson "Tout le monde = Everybody/Everyone (French Indefinite Pronouns)"
Asked 3 years ago
Bonjour Pradeep,
- 'Tout le monde m'a félicité' = everyone congratulated me
→ 'tout le monde' = singular as it refers to a "singular quantity"
- 'Tous m'ont félicité' = all of them congratulated me
→ 'tous' = plural as 'tous' refers to "plural quantity"
See link here: tout-tous-and-toute-toutes-all-all-of-them-the-whole-indefinite-pronouns
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
