Adjective/pronoun

Sir,

1.All trees are green.


In this sentence the word "all' is an adjective. is it ok?

2.All the trees are green.

3.All of the trees are green.

I am not able to understand the differences between (2) and (3).

Please explain a bit.
Thanks.

All three sentences are correct and mean almost the exact same thing. Sentence 2 and 3 mean pretty much the same thing in this case. Sentence 1 is a little different in that it is saying that every single tree in the world is green, and sentences 2 and 3 say that all the trees, maybe in a specific area, are green.
