 +<color blue>All, no</color> and <color blue>none</color> are quantifiers. 
 +<color blue>All</color> refers to the whole amount or quantity of something that is indicated. <color blue>No</colorand <color blue>none</colorrefer to ‘not any’ or not one 
 + 
 +===== Construction ===== 
 + 
 +Here are some examples:  
 + 
 +|       | 
 +|   All | + singular noun | [See note 4below.]  | 
 +::: | + plural countable noun | <color blue>All</colorchildren like sweets. | 
 +::: | + uncountable noun | <color blue>All</colorinformation will be provided. |

 +::: without a noun <color blue>None</colorare English. | 
 + 
 + 
 +===== Subject verb agreement ====
 +  
 + 
 +**1. We can use either a singular or a plural verb with none and ‘none of’.** 
 + 
 +In the following sentence, <color blue>none</colorcould mean ‘not one’ [in a singular sense] or ‘not <color violet>any</color>’ [a plural sense]. In formal written Englisha singular verb is preferred but in conversation, we often use a plural verb: 
 + 
 +  * None of the delegates __has/have__ responded to the invitations yet. 
 +  
 +Sometimes, the context suggests a sense that’s clearly plural and a plural verb is required: 
 + 
 +  * Almost <color blue>none</colorof my colleagues __work__ from home. [suggests a large number] 
 +  * <color blue>None</colorbut the best __are__ recruited by my company[not talking about one person] 
 +  
 +With uncountable nouns, we have to use a singular verb: 
 + 
 +  * They gave us a lot of information but <color blue>none</colorof it __was__ very useful. 
 + 
 +See <color violet>subject verb agreement</colorfor more information
 + 
 +  
 +**2. <color blue>No</colorcan take either a singular or plural verb with the same meaning but a singular noun is more formal:** 
 + 
 +  * There was <color blue>no</colorcomputer in the meeting room. 
 +  * There were <color blue>no</colorcomputers in the meeting room. 
 + 
 +**3. We can use ‘not’ with <color blue>all</colorto make negative sentences:** 
 +  
 +  * __Not__ <color blue>all</colorof my colleagues are English. 
 +  * My colleagues are__n’t__ <color blue>all</colorEnglish. 
 + 
 + But ‘not <color blue>all</color>’ does not have the same meaning as none: 
 + 
 +  * Not <color blue>all</colorof my colleagues are English. [but some of them are] 
 +  * <color blue>None</colorof my colleagues are English. [I have no English colleagues] 
 + 
 +  
 +**4. We can use a singular noun with <color blue>all</colorwhen we are referring to periods of time:** 
 + 
 +  * I spent <color blue>all</colorweek working on that report. 
 +  * I waited <color blue>all</colormorning for him to call but he didn’t. 
 + 
 +  
 +===== Uses ===== 
 +  
 +^   ^ Uses ^ Examples ^ 
 +|  All | To talk about a whole amount | We drank all the water. | 
 +::: | To talk about every person or object | We ate all the sandwiches
 +::: | To mean ‘the only thing(s)’ | All I’ve eaten today is a sandwich -- I’m so hungry. 
 +::: | With time periods | I was busy all day. | 
 +| No | To mean ‘not any’ or ‘not one’ | There’s no milk in the fridge.\\  There are no men in this team. | 
 +::: | When something is forbidden | “No smoking in this building.” | 
 +| None | To mean ‘not any’ or ‘not one’ | There’s none in the fridge.\\ There are none in this team | 
 + 
 + 
 +===== With ‘of’ ===== 
 +  
 + 
 +We can use ‘of’ with <color blue>all</colorwhen we are referring to a more specific quantity or amount. For example: 
 +  * <color blue>All</colorcars need fuel or electrical power. [cars generally] 
 +  * <color blue>All</color__of__ the cars in this country use petrol or diesel. [specific cars]  
 + 
 +**<color blue>Note that</color>** 
 + 
 +**1. Unlike some other quantifiers e.g some, many, few, little, ‘of’ isn’t necessary with all when we are being specific** 
 +  * All the cars in this country use petrol or diesel.{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * All of the cars in this country use petrol or diesel.{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}}  
 + 
 +**2. We can use ‘no’ generally and ‘none of’ specifically. For example:** 
 +  * No cars were manufactured in the US from 1942-1946.  [any cars] 
 +  * None __of__ the cars in this company is more than two years old. [specific cars]         
 + 
 +We can’t use ‘of’ + noun. We need to use ‘the’a demonstrativea pronoun or a possessive adjective. 
 +  * All of friends live near me.{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * All(of__my__ friends live near me. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * I like none of books. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * I like none of __these__ books{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}} 
 + 
 +===== ‘All’ or ‘everything’ or ‘everyone/everybody’? ===== 
 +  
 +<color blue>All</color> isn’t often used without a noun and it’s sometimes incorrect to do this: 
 +  * I told all in the sales department. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}}        
 +  * I told everyone in the sales department{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}}  
 +  
 +  * I finished all. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}}              
 +  * I finished everything{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:y.png?nolink&20|}}   
 + 
 +Howeverwe can use <color blue>all</color> in this kind of sentence: 
 +  * I told them <color blue>all</colorI know               
 +  * I told them everything I know.  
 + 
 +Or with ‘about: 
 +  * I told them all about the new project              
 +  * I told them everything about the new project. 
 +  
 +===== ‘All the time’ or ‘every time’? ===== 
 + 
 +<color blue>All</colorthe time’ means ‘continuously’ or ‘often’: 
 +  * This production line is in operation <color blue>all</colorthe time.  [around the clock; it never stops] 
 +  * He complains about his job <color blue>all</colorthe time. [oftena lot] 
 + 
 +‘Every time’ means ‘on each occasion’: 
 +  * I stay in the same hotel every time I go to London. 
 +  * Every time I hear that song, I feel happier. 
 + 
 +===== ‘No’/‘none (of)’ or ‘not a/any’ ===== 
 + 
 +These have the same meaning but <color blue>no</colorand ‘<color blue>none</colorof’ are considered more emphatic: 
 + 
 +^ Neutral ^ Emphatic ^ 
 +| There isn’t any milk. | There’s <color blue>no</colorchocolate! |    
 +| He didn’t have any of the skills we required. | He had <color blue>none</colorof the skills we required -- he was useless! | 
 + 
 +Be careful not to use double negatives: 
 +  * There is__n’t__ __no__ useful information. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * He did__n’t__ have __none__ of the skills. {{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +  * I have__n’t__ __never__ been to China{{:en:grammar:reported_speech:n.png?nolink&20|}} 
 +           
 +===== Word order ===== 
 + 
 +<color blue>All</colorcan be placed later than a noun in a sentence as well as in front of the noun:         
 +  * My __friends__ <color blue>all</colorlive near me. = <color blue>All</colormy friends live near me. 
 +  * __We__ are <color blue>all</colorgoing to London tomorrow.  = <color blue>All</colorof us are going to London tomorrow.     
 +  
 +===== Common expressions with ‘no’ ===== 
 + 
 +There are a lot of informalconversational expressions with <color blue>no</color+ nounHere are some examples: 
 + 
 +| **Expression** | **Meaning** | **Examples** | 
 +| No wonder | A lack of surprise | <color blue>No</colorwonder he didn’t pass the test -- he never works hard enough. | 
 +| No idea | A complete lack of knowledge | “Where’s Jean?” | 
 +|:::|:::| “<color blue>No</coloridea.” | 
 +|:::|:::| I have <color blue>no</coloridea what to do next. | 
 +| No comment | A refusal to answer a question -- often used by people interviewed by journalists or by the police | “Where were you on the night of 26<sup>th</supSeptember?”\\ “<color blue>No</colorcomment.” | 
 +| No way | Great surprise or disbelief   | “They agreed to sign the contract.” |

 +|:::|:::| “<color blue>No</colorproblem.” | 
 + 
 +===== Intensifiers  ===== 
 + 
 +We can use intensifiers to give extra information. Here are some examples: 
 + 
 +^   ^ all ^ no ^ none ^ 
 +| ‘Almost’ and words with a similar meaning such as ‘nearly’ and ‘virtually’.\\_ ‘Almost <color blue>none/no</color>’ has a similar meaning to ‘hardly any’. | They ate nearly <color blue>all</colorthe sandwiches. | We have virtually <color blue>no</colortime to finish this. |   Almost <color blue>none</colorof our clients speak French. |
