Why is the one sentence ending with tous l’ont eu and the next sentence ends with Tous l’ont eu?
Tous / toutes = all [of them]Les garçons ont passé leur examen et ilsl'ont tous eu.The boys took their exam and they all passed.Les garçons ont passé leur examen et tous l'ont eu.The boys took their exam and they all passed.
This question relates to:French lesson "Tout/tous/toute/toutes = Everything/all (of them)/whole/completely in French"

If I have understood your question correctly Pascal, the two versions are just different ways of saying exactly the same thing -
.... et ils l'ont tous eu
or
....et tous l'ont eu
Bonne continuation !

I don't get your question. What do you want to know?
Tous ont eu l'examen. -- All passed the exam.
Ils l'ont tous eu. -- They all passed it.
In the second sentence, "they" corresponds to ils and "all" to tous.
