將 all 用為分配詞

分配限定詞 all 談的是一整個群體,特別強調沒有任何事物被排除在外。all 用於分配詞的形式有很多種。

all 可以接不可數名詞和可數名詞;在這種用法上,all 是以群體的概念來論及事物,而非指獨立的個體。

舉例
  • All cheese contains protein.
  • I like all dogs.
  • All children need affection.
  • This soap is for all purposes.

all 可以接有定冠詞 the 為首的不可數名詞和可數名詞複數,或接所有格代名詞。在這種情況下,它論及的是一個具體、實質的群體,而不是指概念上的群體。在這樣的用法上,of 可以緊接在 all 後,意思並不會改變。

舉例
  • All the people in the room were silent.
  • All of the birds flew away.
  • Have you eaten all the bread?
  • I will need all of the sugar.
  • I've invited all my friends to the party.
  • I've used up all of our eggs.
  • You wasted all your time.

all 可以接 of + 代名詞複數形。

舉例
  • All of us are going.
  • He scolded all of you.
  • Did you find all of them?

all 可以用於問句和感嘆句,後面接單數指定代名詞 this 或 that + 可數名詞。在這樣的用法上,of 可以緊接在 all 後,意思並不會改變。

舉例
  • Who has left all this paper on my desk?
  • Look at all this snow!
  • Why is all of that sugar on the floor?
  • Where did all of this confetti come from?

all 可以用於問句和感嘆句,後面接複數指定代名詞 these 或 those + 可數名詞。在這樣的用法上,of 可以緊接在 all 後,意思並不會改變。

舉例
  • Look at all those balloons!
  • Where did all of those books come from?
  • Why are all these children crying?
