All

When all refers to the subject of a clause, it usually comes


after the subject, or after the modal verb or first auxiliary
verb, or after be as a main verb:
The kids all go to school on the same bus.
These items could all have been bought cheaper.
The students are all here now. We can start.

We use all of before personal pronouns (us, them),


demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) and
relative pronouns (whom, which).

We can also use all as an adverb meaning ‘completely’ or


‘extremely’, especially in informal styles:
He lived all alone in an old cottage in the woods.
He came back all covered in mud.

All + (sth) = all day/all summer


… everything. / everything + verb = everything seems…

everything = todo
it all = lo ... todo (I want to do it all = lo quiero hacer todo)

All and every


all + plural nouns every + singular nouns
uncountable nouns

all + day/week/year … = focus on one entire day/week…


every + day/week/year … = focus on each individual day …
