Cultural Tip
In French, "tous les mois" and "chaque mois" are interchangeable, but "tous les mois" sounds slightly more informal and is often used in spoken language. For written or formal contexts, "chaque mois" is preferred. Also, remember that the direct‑object pronoun must agree in gender and number with the noun it replaces.
