All is, all are

[Ju]

My schedule are all full on weekdays. Would you like to make it on weekends?

1. For the above sentence, I should use "all are" because weekdays are plural. Am I right?

2. Is "schedule" singular/countable?

3. Is "all are" reflecting "schedule" or " weekends"?

Thanks.

The subject of sentence 1 is schedule, which is singular. Therefore the verb should be is.

Schedule is countable. For example, you may have several schedules: work, school, and other activities.

1. I hope May and her kids are all well.

2. I hope all is well with you.

For sentence 1, since May and her kids are plural, so it takes plural verb "are".

For sentence 2, since "you" is single, so I use singular verb "is".

Am I right?

Thanks.

You're right with the sentences, but not the logic; all = everything, which is why the verb is singular in the second.

'You' can also be plural, but you'd still say 'I hope all is well with you (all)'.

'You' can also be plural, but you'd still say 'I hope all is well with you (all)'.

It means "all" will never go with plural verb because it means."everything".

Am I right?

Thanks.

Student: Are my sentences correct?
Teacher: All are incorrect.

When 'all' means 'everything', it is singular.
When 'all' means 'everybody', it is plural.

I thought "everybody" is single?

 

[Rover_KE]

It is.

'Everybody is welcome.'

'All are welcome.'

 

[Matthew Wai]

The OP has confused 'single' with 'singular'.

I thought "everybody" is singular [strike]le[/strike]?

It is. The word "all" is plural when it means "everybody".
