Grammar
All vs everything
Hello,
Are "everything" and "all" interchangeable in these two cases? I'm having a hard time choosing between them.
1) I am having a terrible day. All / Everything is going wrong.
2) You must tell me all /everything about your holiday.
Top answer
anonymous ) I am having a terrible day. All / Everything is going wrong. 'All' is odd there; 'everything' is common and natural.
- anonymous ) I am having a terrible day.
- All / Everything is going wrong.
- 'All' is odd there; 'everything' is common and natural.
- anonymous 2) You must tell me all /everything about your holiday.
- Both words are common there, but 'all' is probably an adverb, not a pronoun.
