"Will everyone be going to this party?" Is a more accurate translation than "Is everyone going to this party?"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/hippietrail

Should also accept "Will everybody go to this party?"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ClarkSchol

"Can everyone go to this party?"

Why is this wrong?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/zulu409186

That would be correct if the question uses 能。


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/domsalazar0

It seems like that would be a correct translation. I would report it.

You are asking them if they are able to join the party

rather than....

asking them if they have the will to join the party

Is there any difference between 大家都 and 大家? https://www.duolingo.com/skill/zs/Health-1/tips says that the 都 gives it some emphasis, but this is difficult to translate into English?

I want to know this too.

Why is 会 in this sentence?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/NasuSamaruk0

会 is used in this sentence to emphasize the "future action". Even though it literally means will, it can also be used to emphasize what one is "going to do next".


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/KynaPat

I was taught 会 denotes the ability to do something, not a desire or necessarily a future action. For instance, to me, 我会游泳, means "I am able to swim." Whereas, 我要游泳 is "I will swim." So I don't think 会 is appropriately used. I was taught mainland 北京话, maybe this usage is Taiwanese. Was anyone else taught the same as me?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Nana344213

I thought 会 is will/can and 要 is need to/have to.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/UKamboj

"Is everyone coming to this party?" should be accepted as well


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/WoyenSan

"Will every single one of you go to this party?" should also be correct because of the 都


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/chetlin

大家 does not necessarily imply all of "you", it's just "everyone".


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/darcymiller02

"will everyone all be going to this party?"; 对还是错?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/JJCastro11

WILL EVERYONE COME TO THIS PARTY? is not accepted


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Salam333

大家都会去这个派对吗


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AlyciaPete

Would "Are all of you going to the party?" be acceptable as well if you are talking to a group of people?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Kivolamuzikisto

大家 = everyone. IF you're addressing a group you might say either "all of you" or "everyone" BUT the given sentence could be said to a single person asking if everyone is going, so I think you can see how your sentence doesn't work in this situation and therefore shouln't be accepted. We need to learn both 你们 and 大家.

Can it be " CAN everyone go.. " ?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/KrzysztofB570274

I live in GB. Noone says "going to go"...


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Leelamadhu2

Does everyone going to this party is rejected why


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/OscarFoong

"is everyone all going to this party" rejected. Reported 16 Feb 21.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Geoff470860

I said...'everyone is....' instead of....'is everyone going...' and was marked correct when it is incorrect!!
