    Is it correct to say את הכל?

    הבחורה הזאת אוכלת את הכל

      That would be more like 'this girl is eating it all'...

        Thanks, so if I understand correctly:

        אני אוכל הכל I eat everything (I am willing to eat anything)

        אני אוכל את הכל I am eating all of it (the cake/pizza etc)

          Yes. Note that אני אוכל הכל can also mean אני אוכל את הכל, but not the other way around.

              Oh dear one of the options is American is this some Freudian slip of the exercise creator? :-)

                Do you know what a Freudian slip is?
