Hello, and welcome to the ESL Theatre, joke. My last video was a joke. If you see the two together, in fact, I tell you, look for the other video where I'm using this book and making fun, ok? Acting very frou-frou, I said frou-frou. Check, go through the site, you'll find it.
Alright, all, well this actually, this lesson is very specific. It's on all and every, ok?
Mr. E, as you know, is going to help me teach.
He's saying something right here, it's "all worms are handsome" or "every worm is handsome".
Now, is this the same? No, not the same. And we're going to work today to figure out what is the difference.
The reason why I put this one up here is I have commonly students say "all time", "all people".
Now, there is a way you can say "all time" or "all people", but you have to be careful how you say it.
Today we're going to learn the difference, why and when you can say something, alright?
Now, the first time I'm going to work on it with "all" and "everything", I'm actually going to do a conjunction.
I'm going to put "every", but I'm going to put "every" with "everything" because I want to give you something right out, ok?
When we say "all", when we talk about "all" and "every" and "everything",
I'm just going to move this in a little bit, make sure you get it on the board, ok? So, one second.
When we talk about "all" and "everything", the very basis, let's do it this way.
When we talk about "all" and "every", here's the first thing you have to know.
"All" means "whole", "every" means "individual".
It's related to "each", ok?
When we talk about "each thing", we talk about one thing.
Now, the problem with "each" is that it only means one plus one plus one.
When we say "every", we mean "each", but we mean it as a group.
So, it's individual things in a group.
That's why when we say things like, "Did you eat all of the pie?"
It means the totality, the whole pie.
But, "Did you eat every pie?"
We eat individual pies, and many of them, as a group, not the same.
Group, whole, that's all we care about.
"Every", what we have is this.
We have a circle, and we are talking about the group, but we're talking about all the things in that group, as individuals.
Understand?
I know you do.
So, we talk about the whole as one piece, and this, we consider it like this, as one, and this as the parts of the whole.
Good.
So, the first thing we're going to look at is "all" and "everything".
Here's something you say, a lot of people say when they're in relationships.
I like to, let's say this.
I'm sorry.
Magic of television is going to go on.
All I've had is hope for today.
Or...
Let's look at that.
You have two statements.
All I've had is healthy food today.
Everything I've had is healthy food today.
When we say "all" in this case, don't mind me, I'm going to get rid of this, give us a little bit more room.
When we say "all" in this particular case, and "everything" in this case, although the statements are similar, the meanings are not quite.
"All" in this case means "only".
The only things, right?
Only.
In this case it's "everything included".
All the things, remember we talked about dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
They're saying everything I've had, all the things are healthy.
In this case they're saying "only" healthy things.
Everything else is excluded.
Cool.
Alright?
So if you say something like "all I've done for you", it means the thing I've done for you or nothing but this thing,
well everything would be all the things I've done for you.
All the little parts.
Okay?
Cool.
So the first thing we're going to do is "all" and "everything" because they're not exactly the same.
One is inclusive, meaning all parts, the other one is singular, meaning one part.
Okay?
The next thing I want to do is "people".
This is where people make the biggest mistake with "all" and "everything".
Now, here I'm going to put this.
That's either going to be "everybody" or "one".
If we were to say as a group of people, we can't say "all people".
Now, I lied to you.
If you say "all people have two I's", that's what we call a truism.
In that case, you can add "all" to a noun, but you're saying everything in that category or all things in that particular group.
Okay?
And that's got to be true.
So you can't just say it as a general statement unless you know that general statement will be true in most cases.
So if that sounds a little high, okay, it's an intermediate lesson but it might be a little bit high to get,
but the idea is you cannot say "all people" when you're talking about a group of people in a general way.
When you say "all people", you must mean all people, all humans, period.
Okay?
There's an old saying that goes like this.
"All men are mortal."
If you've ever studied philosophy, it's one of the first things they teach you.
"All men are mortal", meaning all men will die.
It's not a group, just some men, but all men of all time to be a man is to be mortal.
Then it says, "Socrates is a man."
And from there they say, "Therefore, Socrates is mortal."
Okay?
But you notice this has to be for all men in all time.
Now, I'm telling you this because usually when we have "all" we use prepositions.
And the two prepositions we use would be with "all", "all of" or "all about".
These are the prepositions we usually use.
When we use "every", we usually use nouns.
Everybody, everyone, every time, every place.
That's one of the big differences.
And even sometimes with "every" we join them together or we can have them separated.
On another lesson I'll teach you the difference between what is "every place" and "every place" separated.
Right?
Or "every one" separated and "every one" together.
There is a difference.
And I'll teach you another lesson today.
I just want to go through the comparison here.
Okay?
So, this one you usually join with nouns.
This one is usually with prepositions.
This is especially important when we talk about people.
When you want to talk about a group of people, you can't say "every people" or "all".
You can't say "all people", which a lot of students like to say.
They say "all people enjoyed themselves at the party".
Okay?
They will say something like "instead of" or "body enjoyed themselves".
"Enjoyed" blah, blah, blah.
Okay?
Now, why?
Remember we talked about "all" being the whole group?
And then if you remember the explanation I gave you with "all people" when we talked about Socrates.
Well, not all people went to the party.
A certain group went to the party.
This is why the preposition "of" is so important in this case.
When you use the preposition "of", it talks about one part of a group or one part belonging to a group.
So, when we say "all of the people", "the people" is very specific.
It's the people at the party.
So, it's not the whole group of humanity, all people.
It's the people at that party enjoyed themselves.
The article "the" means specific.
So, this specific group of people enjoyed themselves at the party.
When we say "everyone enjoyed themselves", we mean each person at that party.
So, we don't need to use that preposition.
We just use the noun, which is each and every part.
Which ones?
"Everyone" or "everybody".
This is every individual person or every single person or body.
Okay?
Maybe we should change this lesson to advanced lesson.
I'm trying to think about it.
So, when we say "every" in this case, we can say "everybody" or "everyplace" because we mean each individual case.
While here, we need this preposition, and that's why we use it a lot to say all of this particular group.
Alright?
How was that?
Not so bad, right?
So, the next time you're talking to your friend and you go, "I was at a party the other day.
All people loved it.
It was great."
You go, "My friend."
With your Faulkner book, of course, you go, "My friend."
You do realize that "all" is the entire group.
In this case, it would be all of humanity.
And all humanity was not at the party.
I guarantee you.
Some of them weren't even human.
So, you must say "all of the people", "the" being the operative article to say all of this particular group of people enjoyed themselves.
But, why even do that, my friend?
Why don't we say "everybody enjoyed themselves" and make it easy?
Yes?
Because each person at the party enjoyed.
Now you understand.
Cool?
Now, here's another one.
The students make a problem with him.
If you remember, the preposition "of" is here.
So, keep this in mind when I teach this.
Alright?
Because it's not going to be exactly the same.
Now, you saw this when we used it for people.
So, why don't we stop talking about people, but why don't we talk about time, which is another category people make mistakes on.
"All".
Okay?
You could say "all of the time", but we usually say "all the time".
Okay?
We usually say "all the time".
And on the other hand, we usually say "every time".
Careful not to join this one, okay?
"Every time".
Now, remember what I said at the beginning about "all" and "the".
I'm going to write it on the board for you at the end.
But one talks about the whole group, and one talks about each and every event and time.
So, when you say "all the time", you are late all the time.
Translation.
See this "a" and the "l"?
It generally translates to "all".
So, you know what?
I want you to remember this.
It means "always".
And it's "all the time".
Because "the" is making that specific.
All the times we meet, or all the time you do, all the time that you do for this particular activity.
Work, eating, or something.
Right?
All the time.
It means "always".
And that's why "the" is there to make it very specific.
Okay?
Now, when we say "every time", it's not quite the same.
It means "each".
Each and every occasion.
It means each individual time on every occasion.
If I say "you look different all the time", always different.
Always.
Never the same.
If I say "you look different every time", each occasion is a little different.
Okay?
So we're looking and we really care about the individual parts of it.
More detailed.
Okay?
Cool?
Now, I'm going to wrap this up.
Okay?
So now when we look here, all worms are handsome, and every worm is handsome.
Not the same, right?
You got it.
So this means the entire category of worms is good looking.
Well, this one says "each individual worm".
In this case.
I think he looks very handsome indeed, don't you?
Well, he is a handsome worm.
Anyway.
Quick lesson up here.
So we've got "all" and "every".
Just keep in mind, the one thing you should walk away from today and understand.
I'll do a further lesson because there's also "whole", "all" and "every" and blah, blah, blah more.
But when we talk about "all" and "every", the two things you should have or keep in mind are this.
"All", think "whole".
Right?
Think "whole".
And think "preposition".
"Of" is a good one.
Or "about".
Tell me all about your day.
That makes a complete story about your day, right?
Or all of the people enjoy the party.
The whole group of people at that party.
When you think "everything".
Or should I not "everything"?
When we think "every", think "each".
"Each".
Okay?
And think "nouns".
Literally.
Person, place or thing.
Know that each one can be used for things, but specifically both of them can be used for time and people.
Alright?
As I said, we're going to come back with another lesson later on in which we go through why "every" can be joined with the noun or sometimes "every" and the noun are separate.
Alright?
Look, I've taken a lot of your time.
I don't want to do this all day.
Time, all day, the complete day.
Every time I meet you, I hope you learn English and learn it well.
Alright?
Listen, I'm out of here.
I spent all my time talking to you.
And every time I do this, my girlfriend gets angry, so I got to split.
Have a great day, but before I go, you need to go someplace.
You need to go someplace special.
It's where all the good students go and everyone improves.
They always say they've been to this place.

Please go to www...
No, I'm not going to say please.
This is an order.
Go now.
Do it for your country.
Do it for your woman.
Do it for your man.
Do it for me.
Okay?
Go to www.eng as in English, vid as in video.com where there will be questions.
