All adalah determiner, predeterminer atau pronoun, yang dalam bahasa kita berarti Semua.
Bagaimana menggunakan kata all dalam kalimat? Berikut ini kami berikan contoh-contoh dalam kalimat.
All digunakan di
depan kata benda jamak atau kata benda uncountable. Sebagai kata ganti (Pronoun) all berdiri sendiri.
Contoh:
All children, all water, all houses, all music.
Contoh dalam kalimat:
- All children like playing.
- I like all music.
- She enjoyed visiting all places in Bali.
- Why do all women like flower?
- All men are the same. They love flattering.
Untuk kata benda yang sudah ada penjelasnya (determiners) seperti my books, her friend, the children, maka all atau all of dapat digunakan.
Perhatikan contoh berikut:
- All my books are about science fiction.
- All of my books are about science fiction.
- All of the children atau All the children.
- All of my friends always appreciate what I do.
Untuk object pronouns us, them, you, kita menggunakan All of. Contoh: All of us, all of them, all of you.
Contoh dalam kalimat:
- All of us are going tomorrow.
- I want all of them to stay here.
All dapat diletakkan setelah pronouns yang digunakan sebagai object kata kerja.
- The boss wanted them all.
- I will send it to you all tomorrow.
All digunakan setelah subject pronouns:
- They all came late.
- We all went to the beach.
Apabila kata kerja dalam kalimat tersebut adalah be (are, were), maka subject dan all dipisahkan:
- They were all very tired.
- You are all welcome here.
Perhatikan posisi all jika terdapat auxiliary verb:
- We have all been invited to the party.
- They will all be informed as soon as possible.
Demikian penjelasan mengenai all dan all of. Semoga bermanfaat.
