- {{Grammar Box}}
- In this grammar structure, we learn about a way to say "all" that is, well, a bit more epic. Sort of like how we might say "all the king's men" or "all the money in the world."
- == Structure ==
- "所有的⋯⋯ 都⋯⋯" (suǒyǒude... dōu...) is a pattern used to refer to "every" or "all" of a noun, with the quantity of said noun usually being fairly large. You can sometimes not use “的” after “所有”.
- <div class="jiegou">
- 所有的 + Noun + 都 + Verb / Adj.
