Hello, I’m Sam from BBC Learning English,

and today we’re going to look at the difference
1
2560
2040
00:04
between 'all' and 'everybody' or 'everyone',
2
4600
3560
00:08
when talking about people.
3
8160
1440
00:09
In both cases we’re talking about a group
4
9600
2370
00:11
of people and the meaning is simple.
5
11970
2610
00:14
They both mean ‘100% of the group’. But, how
6
14600
3920
00:18
we use them in a sentence is slightly different.
7

Let’s look at these examples:

I invited some friends to a party this weekend.
9
23560
2840
00:26
They all came! Everybody came!
10
26400
3360
00:29
So, in the first example, we have
11
29760
1800
00:31
'the subject + all + the main verb'.
12
31560
3778
00:35
It’s not correct to say 'all came'
13
35340
3760
00:39
without using the subject ‘they’ before 'all'.
14
39100
4200
00:43
But if you want to make the sentence shorter,
15
43300
2815
00:46
you can use 'everybody' or 'everyone' as the subject
16
46115
3665
00:49
of the sentence - so,
17
49780
2033
00:51
'everybody + the main verb'.
18
51813
2517
00:54
So I hope you 'all' understand and
19
54330
2458
00:56
'everybody' will do the quiz now.
