Hello and welcome to Wednesday’s Words with English with Languissimo® which will help you build your vocabulary so that you can improve your communication skills in English.
My name is Vanessa. I’m the founder and CEO of Languissimo®.
Today, I will cover the difference between “all” and “everything”.
- “All” means “tout/tous”. “All” as an adjective is followed by a noun. For example: “all my friends” (tous mes amis), “all the time” (tout le temps), “all year round” (toute l’année), “all day long” (toute la journée).
- “All” as a pronoun is used in some expressions: “all’s well that ends well” (tout est bien qui finit bien), “I give my all” (je donne tout), “all or nothing” (tout ou rien), “all I want” (tout ce que je veux), “that’s all” (c’est tout), “all of them” (tous).
- “Everything” means “tout”. It is a pronoun that refers to “all the things”: “is everything ready?” (Tout est prêt?), “I did everything” (j’ai tout fait).
