  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adverb Phrase 3. The adverb phrase today is all

  • told. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say something is all told we

  • mean that is with everything included or counted. Okay. Let's continue. The origin of

  • this phrase comes from an old use of the word' to tell' which meant to count. This

  • is also where we get the word from as in bank teller. That's why we call a bank

  • teller, a bank teller and I always used to wonder that too. Why teller ? What does

  • teller have to do with that ? I guess there was an old meaning of teller. Which

  • actually meant to count. So that's why we call a bank teller, a bank teller too, and

  • you know, remember told is the past tense of the verb tell. So all told meant like

  • all counted up or all included. Okay. Let's continue. All right. We got a couple of

  • examples here. Elizabeth Taylor had eight marriages and seven husbands all told. So

  • finally when you know throughout her whole life if he counted it all up

  • that's what she had. Eight marriages and seven husbands. She married Richard

  • Burton twice. So that's why that worked out that way. So she married the one

  • actor two times. So that's why she had eight marriages and seven husbands. All

  • right. Let's look at number two here. Barry Bonds ended up with seven hundred

  • and sixty two major league home runs all told to be the all-time home run leader.

  • So that is the way we use it.. When we counted everything or we included everything or

  • we added everything up. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you

  • for your time. Bye-bye.
