German : alle (all) followed by adj

German : alle (all) followed by adj

1. A demostrative or possessive adjective after alle will have the SAME ending as alle, but any other adjective will have the " -en".

eg.

Nominative : alle seine alten Freunde
Accusative : alle seine alten Freunde
Genative : aller seiner alten Freunde
Dative : allen seinen alten Freunden

2. When alles (everything ) is followed by an adjective used as noun, the adjective will have a WEAK ending.

This is not the same as adjectives followed by etwas (somthing), nichts ( nothing), viel (much) and weing (little) which use STRONG declension.

eg.

Wir wünschen dir alles Gute!
(We wish you all the best!)

Wir werden alles Mögliche versuchen.
(We shall try everything possible.)
