✕Common Mistakes
Je vais tout noté.
Using the past participle *noté* turns the sentence into a past tense ('I have noted everything') instead of a future intention.
Je vais toutes noter.
The pronoun *tout* is invariable; it never takes an -e or -s when it means ‘everything’.
Je vais noter tout.
Placing *tout* after the infinitive is grammatically possible but changes the emphasis; the usual, more natural order is *tout noter*.

Je vais tout écrire.
I will write everything down.
Je vais tout consigner.
I will record everything.
Je vais tout prendre en note.
I will take note of everything.
Cultural Tip
In French professional settings, taking notes (*noter*) is seen as a sign of attentiveness and respect. The verb *prendre des notes* is also common, especially in academic contexts. Avoid using *écrire* when you simply want to indicate that you’re making a brief record; *noter* conveys a more concise, “jot‑down” nuance.
