What is the word all in grammar

its really nyc n enjoyble u can learn lots good stuff from there

wow

    I don’t know how could I leave a comment without reply anyone. Sorry about that.
    I have a question, what is the difference between “whole” and “every”? Becuase I thought that “whole” meant a complete grupo as “every”.
    Your videos are excellent, thank you in advance.

    carringon1

      Whole means: the WHOLE pie.
      But every mean: every pie individually in a group!

      love12

Teresa Sierra

Can I know whether you are teaching British English or American English

vasim

    Actually, James is Canadian. This means most of the expressions and grammar will be from American English, but sometimes the spelling of words will be British.

    engVid

how can i check the mistakes!!

LoLa

    Please take the quiz again. There was a problem earlier, but it is fixed now.

    engVid

i learned a lot from your lesseons.
thanks james.

katie

hi,may i know where can i find the lesson which is teaching about “when can we join every with a noun and leave a space?” thanks in advance

rita

Hi, james it was really great, everytime i enjoys your lesson.Thanks
Could you please make a lesson or just explain me the difference by reply abouts the words-
tend to and intend to
these words confuse me always. Waiting for reply
thankyou very much

Amy

    Hi Amy. James is busy, but I can answer this question for you. These two expressions ‘tend to’, and ‘intend to’, sound very similar, but they have different meanings.

    tend to – This is used to talk about something you do often. ‘tend’ here comes from the word ‘tendency’ — like a habit. For example: “I tend to bite my nails.” or “Amy tends to comment on James’s lessons.” or “The teacher tends to wear black.”

    intend to – This is used to talk about something you plan to do. ‘intend’ comes from the word ‘intension’. For example: “I intend to fly to Paris in December.” or “I intend to buy a car for my wife.”

    Hope that helps you out.

    engVid

Thanks James….:) Your lesson is so interesting and you are funny one :)

Mohamed

I’ve heard that there is some way to personal learning english with some of the teachers from here, is that correct?

If so, then I’d like to ask James, does he teach a personal(may be by skype)?

How and with whom can I connect about this question?

hypersense

    engVid

Hi James. I’m from Italy. Great your English Lessons ! I appreciate them in general. But I am a little confused about the differences between ALL and EVERY. I am a Math, so “All men are mortal” and “Every man is mortal” … is equivalent as “statement”. Hence, I would think that the difference is only grammatical but not in the meanings. But It seems to me that your exposition has got something of Mathematic. So, at the end, I’m a little confused …. Is your exposition a mathematical or grammatical exposition ?
Anyway, thanks a lot ! I really like your shows and they help me a lot.

AAntonio

Dear James
Greeting…
Really thanks

Hi James…
i have a question about your exemple (8:54):
All people enjoyed themselves.
Everyone enjoyed …

You didn’t write on board..so..my question is: Everyone enjoyed themselves?? like first example?
obs.: Everyone is here… or even a part of a song: Everyone is someone in L.A…

I’m so confused right now…help me..

Hadassa

    [You didn’t write on board..so..my question is: Everyone enjoyed themselves?? like first example?]
    He said “enjoyed themselves, bla, bla,…”, which means so on?!?
    I think so :)
    Uhm,
    Could you please explain what “obs” stands for?
    By the way, my name’s Uy, from Viet Nam, nice to see you there. :)

    shadow_number0

      My question is if “Everyone” is always used as “he/she” combining with “is”…and if “Everyone” combine with “itself” or “themselves”…
      That is it! Did u got it??

      See ya!

      Hadassa

Dear EngVid,
I find your videos useful and it’s helped me a lot. Tks! :)
I would like to ask you a few questions. :D

In one paragraph, I read that in some cases native speakers prefer being called by name to being added an extra word – like “Mr” or “Mrs” before their names.

My old teacher, from New Zealand, used to call himself Michael. We thought it would be more polite to add “Mr” before “Michael”. :( We did so, and he was called “Mr Michael” during his time with us (a 24-student class)

Therefore, I was rather disappointed when I read about this. Can explain more clearly to me? On which occasion can I call one “Mr.” or “Mrs” ???
Tks once again!
Best regards from Viet Nam
Uy

shadow_number0

    Sorry, our dear teachers
    Please you explain for me this doubt between using Mr or Mrs, or only your names.
    Thank you so mach

Thank you.

Thank you, James. Great explanation.

Sonia1234

Hi there. I wonder if anyone could resolve this doubt: I’m trying to convert this sentence (this is where everything ends) with using “all”, and I figure it would be something like: this is where it all ends. However, I can’t find the grammar rule for the inclusion of “it” Does someone knows it?

DanielBeer

Tkanks James for your lessons, you are really a good teacher and other your collegues shoud use your method in teaching english

Ales1963va

Dear Sir.James,
Very nice lesson indeed. I was wondering if I might ask you a question?
Would it be possible to be pleased with a lesson on two words.
Let me explain presently: Anyone; Any One; Everyone; Every One; Everybody; Every Body. Be that as it may on web there is a strongly confusion. Pay my respect to you Sir. H

Briklend Handersson

Hello James,

hi . can i use “everyone” instead of “anyone” in this tense :
“he loved you more than anyone in this world”
I’m confused “any” should use in negative and question tense why they used it in this form

m3hdi.sajjadi

All for whole and every for an individual, and all of them in groups, then I have understood the lesson but it would be necessary to see more examples reading and comparing them. Thanks a lot, teacher James from Engvid, a good explanation.

Amira Abdulaziz

All as a determiner

All means ‘every one’, ‘the complete number or amount’ or ‘the whole’. We use it most often as a determiner. We can use a countable noun or an uncountable noun after it:

All my friends are away at university.

All tickets cost 25 pounds.

All information about the new product is confidential.

As a determiner, all comes before articles, possessives, demonstratives and numbers.

article

possessive

demonstrative

number

All

the

trees had died.

All

my

family were at the party.

All

this

food must be eaten today.

All

25

students took the test.

All with no article

When all refers to a whole class of people or things, we don’t use the:

All children love stories. (i.e. every child in the world)

Not: All the children love stories.

We don’t use the with time expressions such as all day, all night, week, all year, all summer:

I spent all day looking for my car keys.

The party went on all night and some of the neighbours complained.

All of

We use all of before personal pronouns (us, them), demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) and relative pronouns (whom, which). The personal pronoun is in the object form:

I need to speak to all of you for a few minutes.

He brought gifts for all of us.

We had to contact the insurance firm and the airline, all of which took a lot of time. (all of which = ‘contacting the insurance firm and the airline’)

With demonstratives (this, that, these, those) we can say all of or all without of:

[talking about a pile of kitchen waste]

All (of) this has to go out into the rubbish bin.

We often use of after all in definite noun phrases (i.e. before the, possessives and demonstratives), but it is not obligatory:

All (of) the workers were given a pay-rise at the end of the year.

I gave all (of) my old books to my sister when she went to university.

What shall we do with all (of) this cardboard? Throw it out?

All without of

We use all, not all of, before indefinite plural nouns referring to a whole class of people or things:

All cats love milk.

Not: All of cats love milk.

This book was written for all children, everywhere.

We use all, not all of, before uncountable nouns:

All junk food is bad for you.

Not: All of junk food is bad for you.

I love all music, not just classical.

Warning:

We don’t normally say all people; we say everybody or everyone:

Everyone wants to achieve their personal goals in life.

Not: All people want to achieve

All with personal pronouns

When all refers to a personal pronoun which is the object in a clause, we can use pronoun + all or all of + pronoun. The pronoun is in the object form:

I used to have three pens but I’ve lost them all. (or … but I’ve lost all of them).

Not: … but I lost all them.

However, in short responses, all of must be used:

A:

How many of these boxes are you going to need?

Not: Them all.

We use all of with the object form of the pronoun, even when the pronoun is the subject in the clause:

All of us are hoping for good news.

A long line of people waited to speak to the officer. All of them had a story to tell.

All as a pronoun

We can use all alone as a pronoun in formal situations:

All were happy with the outcome. (less formal: Everyone was happy with the outcome.)

All will be revealed to the public in 25 years’ time, when the cabinet papers are released. (less formal: Everything will be revealed to the public …)

Usually, all as a pronoun is premodified or postmodified:

More than 100 people came to the refugee centre. Almost all had lost family members or property or both.

All that we had been told turned out to be untrue.

All as an adverb

When all refers to the subject of a clause, it usually comes in the normal mid position for adverbs (between the subject and the main verb, 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 on the Internet.

The students are all here now. We can start.

All meaning ‘completely’ or ‘extremely’

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.

I lost a good friend, and all because of my stupidity.

Maggie got all upset when she found out the house had been sold. (informal)

All: not all

We can make all negative by using not in front of it:

Not all the buses go to the main bus station, so be careful which one you get.

We weren’t all happy with the result.

All: after all

We use after all in two main ways. We use it to mean ‘in spite of what happened before’. With this meaning it usually occurs in end position:

[spoken by someone who was previously not hungry]

I think I might have something to eat now after all.

Why don’t you invite Nadia? After all, you do work with her every day.

Warning:

After all does not mean ‘finally’ or ‘at last’:

We spoke about it and finally decided to sign the contract.

Not: … and after all decided to sign the contract.

Word: The Definition & Criteria


In traditional grammar, word is the basic unit of language. Words can be classified according to their action and meaning, but it is challenging to define. 

word refers to a speech sound, or a mixture of two or more speech sounds in both written and verbal form of language. A word works as a symbol to represent/refer to something/someone in language to communicate a specific meaning.

Example : ‘love’, ‘cricket’, ‘sky’ etc.

«[A word is the] smallest unit of grammar that can stand alone as a complete utterance, separated by spaces in written language and potentially by pauses in speech.» (David Crystal, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. Cambridge University Press, 2003)

Morphology, a branch of linguistics, studies the formation of words. The branch of linguistics that studies the meaning of words is called lexical semantics.

There are several criteria for a speech sound, or a combination of some speech sounds to be called a word.

  • There must be a potential pause in speech and a space in written form between two words.
    For instance, suppose ‘ball’ and ‘bat’ are two different words. So, if we use them in a sentence, we must have a potential pause after pronouncing each of them. It cannot be like “Idonotplaywithbatball.” If we take pause, these sounds can be regarded as seven distinct words which are ‘I,’ ‘do,’ ‘not,’ ‘play,’ ‘with,’ ‘bat,’ and ‘ball.’
  • Every word must contain at least one root. If you break this root, it cannot be a word anymore.
    For example, the word ‘unfaithful’ has a root ‘faith.’ If we break ‘faith’ into ‘fa’ and ‘ith,’ these sounds will not be regarded as words.
  • Every word must have a meaning.
    For example, the sound ‘lakkanah’ has no meaning in the English language. So, it cannot be an English word.       

Word

The word is a set or sequence of articulated sounds, that can be represented graphically with letters, and generally, they associate a meaning. What are words in grammar?

Since ancient times, grammarians have devoted themselves to the study of the word they conceived as the basic unit of the language without worrying about establishing subclasses. It has been in recent times when it has been renounced to consider the word as a fundamental unit, precisely because of the difficulties of delimitation.

Among the first definitions of the word is that of Aristotle, who considered it as the least significant unit . Subsequently, some focused on the autonomy of the word and define it as the minimal free form or as the sequence of phonic elements endowed with meaning that can be preceded and followed by virtual pauses.

Others, from graphic criteria, insist that it is a significant unit that is written between two blank spaces ; There are those who, using a formal, functional and significant point of view, consider it as a set of sounds with an associated meaning and susceptible to a certain grammatical use ; and who, from an exclusively formal criterion, think that it is a homogeneous set of inseparable monemes and placed in an unalterable order. What are words in grammar?

Despite the limitations that the concept of the word offers, there are several disciplines whose reason for being is precisely in the study of the word. Thus lexicology focused on the observation and analysis of vocabulary or etymology , description of the origin and evolutionary process of the word.

On the other hand, the weight of tradition has kept the concept of parts of the sentence (noun, adjective, article, pronoun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection and participle) , and that the distribution of the Lexis available in categories, always defining the words from the points of view of their form, function and their meaning.

The word by its origin can be primitive , one that does not derive from another belonging to the same language (house, pen, sea, etc.); derived , that formed by adding a prefix or suffix (house, feather duster, submarine, etc.); or compound , formed by the combination of two or more words (hummingbird, bienmesabe, corkscrew, etc.).

By the number of syllables they can be monosyllables and polysyllables (bisyllables, trisyllables, fourisyllables, …) ; and according to the position that the stressed syllable occupies, the words acute, grave, esdrújulas and sobreesdrújulas are found. What are words in grammar?

The word term can also refer to a person’s promise or commitment to do something ; and in formal meetings it is the right or turn to speak.

Words can be classified according to different criteria.

Accentuation What are words in grammar?

  • Sharp words : are those in which the greatest vowel force falls on the last syllable. For example: drawer, search, alelí.
  • Plain or serious words : are those in which the accent falls on the penultimate syllable. For example: day, tree, sky.
  • Esdrújulas words : they are those in which a greater vowel force is registered in the third to last syllable. For example: maximum, earth.

Grammatical function

Depending on the grammatical function they play within the sentence, words can be classified as verb, noun, adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition, pronoun, interjection, etc.

Number of syllables

Words can also be considered based on the number of syllables they present as monosyllables, bisyllables, trisyllables, tetrasyllables, pentasyllables, hexasyllables, heptasyllables, etc. What are words in grammar?

Simple and compound words What are words in grammar?

The simple words are those that are not the product of the union of two or more words. In this sense, they are the opposite of compound words , which are those that are made up of two or more words, such as: bodyguard, can opener, windshield wiper, turning, up and down, bittersweet, know-it-all, etc.

Keyword

Keyword is a concept associated with Computer Science that can be applied to different things. On the one hand, it refers to the most relevant or significant words in the title of a document , and which, in this sense, reflect its content. They are generally used to facilitate their location within a database or on the internet. On the other hand, it is also called a keyword to that which serves as a password or access key to enter a website or a computer program. What are words in grammar?

God’s word

The word of God is known as the set of texts that make up the Bible , the canonical book of the Judeo-Christian tradition: the Gospel, the sermons and the doctrine of the preachers. It is called the word of God because, according to these religious doctrines, the Bible contains and reproduces the word of God.
