Limits of Rien!In all your examples "rien" is always at the end of sentence. Can you add clause(s) after "rien". For example: "C'est mon film policier préféré. Il n'est rien comme les films policiers modernes parce qu'il n'y a pas de poursuites en voiture à grande vitesse et personne n'est tué jusqu'à la dernière scène.

Pronunciation of 'tous'

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?
