| Jul 21, 2019 at 20:18 | comment | added | Boyep | @StoneyB why in the first sentence FOR and in the second TO? All the friends met FOR dinner on Tuesday / All friends are invited TO dinner on Tuesday | |

| Sep 1, 2015 at 8:02 | comment | added | Ahmad | We can say all the friends instead of "all of the friends" but not "some the friends"? | |
