用法筆記
When used as an adjective, 'all' sits directly before a noun phrase that is already specified by a determiner (the, this, my, his) or before a plural/uncountable noun. Distinguish from determiner/1, where 'all' alone introduces the noun phrase ('all children'); here 'all' attaches to an already-defined group ('all the children').

用法筆記
Almost always predicative (after 'be', 'seem', 'look') and almost always in fixed expressions: all ears, all eyes, all smiles, all heart, all thumbs. Cannot be placed before the noun in this sense — you cannot say 'an all-ears listener'. Distinguish from sense 1: here 'all' describes a person's state, not a quantity of something.

完全地
用於形容詞或分詞前，強調達到全部程度
completely or totally — placed before an adjective, an adverb of place, or a past participle to stress that the described state fully covers the subject ('all wet', 'all alone', 'all gone'); unlike sense 4, which works only inside fixed phrases at clause level, this sense modifies a single word.

all + comparative phrase
all + the + noun
用法筆記
Restricted to the set phrases 'all the same', 'all things considered', and 'all told'. The summarising opener 'all in all' is treated under determiner/4 rather than here. Distinguish from adverb/1, which means 'fully' or 'completely' before an adjective; this sense modifies a whole clause.
