Is this sentence's grammar correct?
'All stories tend to get complicated.'
My question really should be, is there no 's' in the word 'tend', because it's talking about 'stories'?
or should there be 's' behind it because it's referring to 'all' (since 'all' is not countable)?
'All stories tends to get complicated.'
thanks!

All stories tend to get complicated.,
Here we have to see the simple subject .
As the word stories is plural , it should take a plural verb.

The word "all" used in this situation is a determiner. If "all" is used with a countable noun, this noun must be in the plural form.
In your sentence, the subject is "all stories". Like other determiner such as "the", "this", "that", "all", "every", "some", "one", "two"... the word "all" is just a determiner wich determine how the noun is tobe intepreted. Moreover, "all" is not a noun,

in my opinion 'All' is not strictly uncountable thing. it depends upon the kind of noun with which it is used. When I say All boys are present, today. Hereit is countable but when I say The cat drank all milk. Here it is uncountable . So I feel I will go with the prior one that says
All stories tend to get complicated.
Cause here you mean the number of st
