They [all] are [all]

0I know 'They all are blonde' means all the people mentioned are blonde. But what about 'They are all blonde', does it still mean the same?02br
02br
00In the same way, can I generalize it to all similar sentences like 'They are all smart' to mean 'They all are smart'.02br
02br
00Thanks in advance0-

0 Both mean the same. You can put 01i00all02i00 in either position. It seems to me, though, that it is more common to let it float to the right when the verb is 01i00to be02i00 or a modal or an auxiliary.02br
