What's the difference between 'all' and 'everybody' or 'everyone'? - English In A Minute - YouTube
Hello, I'm Sam from BBC Learning English,
and today we're going to look at the difference
between 'all' and 'everybody' or 'everyone',
when talking about people.
In both cases we're talking about a group
of people and the meaning is simple.
They both mean ‘100% of the group'. But, how
we use them in a sentence is slightly different.
Let's look at these examples:
I invited some friends to a party this weekend.
They all came! Everybody came!
So, in the first example, we have
'the subject + all + the main verb'.
It's not correct to say 'all came'
without using the subject ‘they' before 'all'.
But if you want to make the sentence shorter,
you can use 'everybody' or 'everyone' as the subject
of the sentence - so,
'everybody + the main verb'.
So I hope you 'all' understand and
'everybody' will do the quiz now.
