Common Mistakes

  • Je le faire tout de suite.

    The verb must be conjugated to match the subject ‘je’; use ‘fais’ not the infinitive ‘faire’.

  • Je le fais tout, de suite.

    Do not split the fixed expression; ‘tout de suite’ stays together.

  • Je le fais tout de suite (when referring to ‘la tâche’).

    If the object is feminine, replace with ‘la’; the pronoun must agree with the noun it replaces.

Alternatives

  • Je m'en occupe immédiatement.

    I'll take care of it immediately.

  • Je le fais immédiatement.

    I’ll do it immediately.

  • Je le fais tout de suite.

Cultural Tip

In French, ‘tout de suite’ is the most common everyday way to say ‘right now.’ It sounds slightly less formal than ‘immédiatement,’ which you might hear in written instructions or in a business setting. Avoid adding a pause after ‘tout’; the whole phrase flows as one unit.
