"Todos os sapatos dela foram caros."

Tradução: All of her shoes were expensive.

[lucas287611]

Por que nao was, por que were ?

[cezarcanario]

Lucas, "was" é singular, "were" plural. All of her shoes - todos os sapatos (plural) dela.

[Alcini2]

Por que was é singular e were é plural

[Alcini2]

Correto

[Marcos204006]

Por que utilizar o of?
Não poderia ser assim:
All her shoes were expensive.

[antlane]

poderia; sem of é mais comum:

All is more common than all of.

She's eaten all (of) the cake.

All (of) my friends like riding.

(M. Swan)

GRAMMAR: Patterns with all

• You use all the or all of the - when talking about every one of a particular group of people or things:

All the students have gone home.

All of the students have gone home.

• You use all directly before a plural noun to mean every person or thing of a particular type:

All men are created equal.

All children like chocolate.

Qual a regra para usar o "of" sempre me confundo.

[JosHenriqu802771]

porque were a não went

[WarsawWill]

O "went" é o passado de "go" ("ir"). Em português se usa "foram" tanto para "ir" ("went,") quanto para "ser" ("were"). Mas usar "ir" aqui não faria sentido, deve ser "ser". Compare com o presente:

"All her shoes are expensive"
- Todos os sapatos dela são caros

Então no passado, "were".

Hello Warsaw! Você pode me ajudar com all e all of?

[antlane]

mswan responde no lugar de warsaw:

All or all of can modify nouns and pronouns.

Before a noun with a determiner (for example the, my, this), all and all of are both possible.

All is more common than all of.

She's eaten all (or all of) the cake.

All (of) my friends like riding.

Before a noun with no determiner, we do not normally use of.

All children can be difficult.

acrescentando: você pode dizer some people, all cars, no money ou some of the people, all of the cars, none of my money: o of aparece, mas junto com the, my etc.

Some people are very unfriendly.

I've got no money.

All cars have wheels.

ou

Some of the people at the party were very friendly.

None of this money is mine.

Antes de it, us, you, them, use ALL OF

ALL OF US ARE PALMEIRENSES.

ou

we are all palmeirenses

Euvsempre soube q Was para terceira pessoa

[Alvanir764762]

Não encontrei aqui uma explicação adequada de usar were em vez de was

[antlane]

Were é plural. My shoe was clean. My shoes were clean.

All of her shoes é plural.

[JooIgorLop1]

Meus caro o sujeito é sapatos( plural) logo é were. Her= dela é pronome possessivo não sujeito. Vamo saber o básico de português né?
