Tips to remember the French word “tout”:
– Associate “tout” with “total” to remember that it refers to “all” or “every”.
– It’s phonetically similar to “too,” which can imply excess or all-encompassing in English.
– Think of “tout le monde” which means “everyone” – “tout” encompasses every person.

Explanations:
– “Tout” is an adjective, pronoun, or adverb depending on usage.
– As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (e.g., tout, toute, tous, toutes).
