"If you unplug everything, nothing is going to work!"

Translation: Si tu débranches tout, rien ne va marcher !

[Elinor687]

Why is it "ne va" and not "ne va pas"?

[Jojo553168]

Because rien is already a negation word, so your sentence doesn't need pas.
(Like you wouldn't say nothing is not going to work.)

[Citi93758]

If "rien" is already a negation word, why do you need "ne"?

[Sucy-en-Brie94]

Si tu débranches tout, rien ne marchera. Accepted :)

[Geimle]

But this highlights an annoying aspect of Duo. If you use the wrong form of "tout," as I did, it's not accepted for that reason. That's fine. But then you're led to conclude that the verb was what you got wrong. And that's confusing.

[djamescha]

why not "tous" ?

[ShubhamSurf]

What about, "Si tu tout débranches...."? I am pretty sure we also placed the "tout" before the verbs in the previous lessons. Any help?

[Vic3141]

My question too

[geometry667721]

You cannot use that word order here. Someone has posted a link with explanations in one of the other comments.

Why not tous?

[ColinCanuck]

I think it's always just "tout" when you mean "everything". "tous", "toute" and "toutes" come into play when you are specifically talking about a set of things, eg: All the cyclists, all the teams, all my good ideas

[JohnnyB809998]

Since we're talking about a future event, why aren't we using the future tense of debrancher?

This question seems a bit unGoogleable so I've saught help on the forum. Let's see what it delivers. https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/42399426 [24Sep2020]

I thought also tous because of many things
