I guess the idea is that it descirbes 'we' . Seems reasonable to me. Other examples it quotes as an adjective are all his life and take it all. It also calls 'all' a pronoun in the example all of us. I would add 'all were silent' as a clearer pronoun example. Again, this seems reasonable to me.

Do the following sound OK to you native speakers? a. I hope we all can agree. b. I hope we can all agree. What part of speech is 'all' in a & b? (adjective, adverb, pronoun....etc.) Do you have any better suggestions in addition to a & b? Thanks in advance.
