分配限定词 all 谈的是一整个群体，特别强调没有任何事物被排除在外。all 用于分配词的形式有很多种。
all 可以接不可数名词和可数名词；在这种用法上，all 是以群体的概念来论及事物，而非指独立的个体。
举例
- all cheese contains protein.
- i like all dogs.
- all children need affection.
- this soap is for all purposes.
all 可以接有定冠词 the 为首的不可数名词和可数名词复数，或接所有格代词。在这种情况下，它论及的是一个具体丶实质的群体，而不是指概念上的群体。在这样的用法上，of 可以紧接在 all 后，意思并不会改变。

- 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.
