Both "we all are" and "we are all" are grammatically correct, but they have slightly different meanings and usage.
"We all are": This phrase emphasizes the inclusiveness of the group. It means that every individual in the group possesses a certain quality, performs an action, or shares a characteristic. For example:
- "We all are excited about the trip." (Every person in the group is excited.)
- "We all are responsible for cleaning up." (Each person in the group has the responsibility to clean up.)
"We are all": This phrase emphasizes the universality or totality of the statement. It means that the quality or action being discussed applies to everyone in the group collectively. For example:
- "We are all human beings." (Every person in the group belongs to the category of human beings.)
- "We are all learning together." (Each person in the group is participating in the learning process.)
In many cases, the distinction between these two phrases is subtle, and they can be used interchangeably without causing any confusion. It's more a matter of style and emphasis rather than strict grammatical rules.
