- Learn English words with this video lesson about "at all"
"at all" is most commonly used in questions and negative sentences.
"at all" gives emphasis and makes the meaning of the sentence stronger.
"at all" means "even a little", "in any way" or "even slightly".
Example: "Do you love me at all?"
Position in a sentence of "at all" with adjectives.
We have 2 choices:
1) We put "at all" before the adjective:
Are you at all tired?
or
2) We put "at all" after the adjective:
Are you tired at all ?
"at all" in conditionals makes the condition stronger.
Example: "If you loved me at all, you would help me."
We can use "at all" in certain affirmative sentences that express free choice. These sentences often contain "any words" (anywhere, anybody, anything, anytime)
Example: "Where do you want to go? I'll take you anywhere at all." - This means that I'll take wherever. It doesn't matter where - I'll take you there. "at all" really emphasises the fact that it doesn't matter where.
"not at all" is an expression that we use as a very polite reply when someone thanks us.
It is a very formal expression and it's more common in British English. It's rarely used in American English.
Example:
Waiter: Here's your drink, sir.
Customer: Thank you.
Waiter: Not at all.
There are many more examples in the video with a very detailed explanation. I advise you to watch it and take notes.

TKS , A.: very good lesson...
Thank you
Interesting observation..."if you are at all ill" is a mostly European English sentence structure. In the US, that sounds odd, but remarkably British/UK influenced. We can tell where you're from regardless of the accent because of it. There are MANY structure reversals that are common to US English like this one.
In the US, it is much more natural to say "if you are ill at all."
Thanks a lot
Hi Teacher. can we use JUST before at all? For example . If you loved me just at all, you would help me .Thank you
Hello and welcome.
No we cannot say "just at all".
But we can say this: If you loved me just *a bit*, you would help me.
Best wishes
Andrew
So clear 😊😊
Good stuff....
Please make a video covering the use of "Would".
Thanks alot

நன்றி
thankyou
what happened to Jane and Mark at all?
thankssssssssssssssssssssssss
In our language , which is farsi , there is nothing like this .😶
Do you normally stress "all" in "at all" as opposed to stressing the other content words in an utterance? I mean, what would you normally say: "do you LOVE me at all?" or "do you love me at ALL?" Would you normally say "I wasn't SURPRISED" at all?" or "I wasn't surprised at ALL"?
I'd appreciate if you could answer that. Thanks a lot.
Well of course we can stress any word we want. It depends on what we want to say.
Examples:
*DO* you love me? ( "Are you really sure?")
Do *YOU* love me? (Or does someone else love me?)
Do you LOVE me? (Or do you only like me?)
Do you love ME? (Or do you love someone else?)
Do you love me at ALL? (Do you love me? Even just a small amount? We would say this if we really doubt that someone loves us)
I hope that helps.
Andrew
Did you not do nothing at home at all? My example is it correct?
Felipe José Sure.Absolutely Incorrect.
Didn't you do anything at all?
Avoid double negative...if you say no, not, nothing, never, or another negative word, don't use another negative word in the same sentence. It cancels the negatives.
When you say "did you not do nothing," you are asking "did you do something," because to not do nothing, you would have to do something.
Andrew....me encantas, de verdad!!!! me tienes enamorada
"at all" bedeutet überhaupt
Very useful. Mabe a bit too long. The speech could be better prepared. Thank you.

What does Much at all mean?
Hello
Here is an example:
I don't like him much at all.
= I really do not like him. I don't even like him a little bit.
I hope that helps.
Andrew
@@CrownAcademyEnglish Thank you, Andrew!
@@CrownAcademyEnglish if I understood correctly this means very little
@@CrownAcademyEnglish and it will be correct to use:
not much at all
for a complete understanding
Yes, "not much at all" means "very little". That is correct. :)
