Hi guys,
My dictionary calls 'all' an adjective in this example. we all know why. I guess the idea is that it descirbes 'we' . Seems reasonable to me.
Other examples it quotes as an adjective are all his life and take it all.
It also calls 'all' a pronoun in the example all of us. I would add 'all were silent' as a clearer pron
