[quote=ANNIEFREEMAN,356790]‘Quan’ and ‘Dou’ don’t work the same with ‘all’. Either ‘Quan’ or ‘Dou’ cannot be used as a pronoun as can ‘all’; for instance, you can say ‘all are my friends’ in English. When you say ‘They are all my friends’ where ‘all’ works as an adv., the ‘all’ in this sentence means ‘Quan’ or ‘Dou’; in Chinese, this sentence can be literally translated as ‘Ta men quan/dou shi wo de peng you.’ And you can see both ‘Quan’ and ‘Dou’ are properly used in this sentence.
