1. Do the following sound OK to you native speakers?
a. I hope we all can 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.

Hi guys,
My dictionary calls 'all' an adjective in this example. we all know why. 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.
Best wishes, Clive
