Surely, you can afford to buy me a forty-peso dinner!' How can Marina say no? How can she refuse the Chief's next request? He is an evil man, but she needs her promotion...

🔗2. All and All of
■Before a noun with no determiner (possessives, articles and demonstratives) we use all.

◇All the lights were out.

🔗4. All with verbs
■When all refers to the subject of a clause, it can go with the verb.
