WEBVTT 00:00.120 --> 00:03.500 Hello welcome to this tutorial. 00:03.600 --> 00:12.400 Today we are going to talk about distribute it's all and have let's get started. 00:13.950 --> 00:24.500 Distributed to Terminus or simply distributed is referred to a group of people or things and to individual 00:24.500 --> 00:26.900 members of the group. 00:28.940 --> 00:36.290 Note that they show different ways of looking at the individual within a group and they express how 00:36.290 --> 00:42.520 something is distributed shared or divided. 00:42.560 --> 00:52.110 Now let's have a look at the example over here all people want to love and to be loved. 00:53.020 --> 00:56.830 The distributive all refers to people. 00:57.160 --> 01:04.660 And it tells us how many people want to love and how many want to be loved. 01:08.360 --> 01:17.720 Note that the distributive determiner all is used to talk about a whole group with a special emphasis 01:18.080 --> 01:23.760 on the fact that nothing has been left out. 01:23.780 --> 01:32.960 Note that all can be used with uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns by itself. 01:32.960 --> 01:41.890 Now in this usage it refers to the group as a concept rather than as individuals. 01:41.890 --> 01:45.570 Have a look at the example below. 01:45.710 --> 01:55.220 All parents want the best for their children the distributive determiner all is referring to parents 01:55.880 --> 01:56.770 everywhere 02:03.330 --> 02:14.500 all can be used with uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns preceded by the or a possessive adjective. 02:14.520 --> 02:25.100 Now in these uses the word off can be added just after all and with no change in meaning. 02:25.270 --> 02:28.420 Have a look at the sentence over here. 02:28.420 --> 02:31.780 Have you eaten all the cookies in the jar. 02:33.070 --> 02:36.960 Have you eaten all of the cookies in the jar. 02:38.380 --> 02:41.980 Both sentences have the same meaning. 02:41.980 --> 02:49.870 The only difference in the sentence the ad off which does not change is the meaning of the sentence 02:53.540 --> 03:05.420 also note that all can't be used with plural pronouns preceded by off have a look at the sentence below 03:06.720 --> 03:10.480 all of us are going to be there tonight. 03:13.040 --> 03:13.680 Us. 03:13.730 --> 03:27.990 Sure I'll post all can be used in questions or exclamations with uncountable nouns preceded by the demonstrators. 03:27.990 --> 03:42.680 This or that or all can be used with countable nouns preceded by these or those now in these uses the 03:42.680 --> 03:50.530 word of can be added just after all with no change in meaning. 03:50.570 --> 03:54.460 Now let's have a look at the examples below. 03:54.470 --> 03:57.170 Look at all the snow out there. 03:57.230 --> 04:12.080 This sentence is an exclamation the distributive all is preceded by the demonstrate of this which modifies 04:12.500 --> 04:15.440 the uncountable noun Snow 04:18.020 --> 04:21.140 let's have a look at the second sentence. 04:21.320 --> 04:25.460 What are all these people doing in our house. 04:25.490 --> 04:37.250 This is a question and the distributive all is preceded by the demonstrated of these which modifies 04:37.520 --> 04:41.560 the countable noun people. 04:41.570 --> 04:50.620 Now let's have a look at the distributive half the distributive determiner have is used to talk about 04:50.650 --> 05:00.040 a whole group divided into two half can't be used as a distributive in several different patterns. 05:01.190 --> 05:11.370 Let's have a look at those patterns first have can refer to measurements if it is followed by an indefinite 05:11.460 --> 05:21.400 article a or an and then a noun let's have a look at the example below. 05:21.850 --> 05:24.760 I'll be back in half an hour. 05:25.590 --> 05:40.120 Half an hour meaning 30 minutes second half can be used with plural pronouns preceded by off. 05:40.710 --> 05:48.850 For example in the sentence we have only half of us are going to be there tonight. 05:49.260 --> 05:59.850 Meaning that if we are 10 only half of us means only five of us are going to be there tonight 06:03.160 --> 06:14.180 and half can be used with nouns preceded by the a and a demonstrated or a possessive adjective. 06:14.200 --> 06:22.330 Now in this case the meaning refers to a concrete physical division. 06:22.330 --> 06:29.790 Note that the word of can be added just after half with no change in meaning. 06:31.960 --> 06:35.600 Let's have a look at the following examples. 06:35.800 --> 06:45.160 Half the people have already left the party meaning that if 50 people were at the party twenty five 06:45.280 --> 06:47.890 of them have left the party 06:50.830 --> 07:00.200 putting half a kilo of sugar in the topping will ruin the cake meaning that we have to put just a quarter 07:01.070 --> 07:05.260 of sugar in the topping not half a kilo 07:08.610 --> 07:19.670 I want half of that cake meaning that I do not want the whole cake I want half of the cake 07:22.570 --> 07:33.330 sorry but I used half of your eggs making breakfast today meaning that if there were 12 eggs I use only 07:33.420 --> 07:36.150 six eggs from making breakfast.
