Is the word All a nominative pronoun?

No, "all" is not a nominative pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronouns stand in for nouns. Examples include: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them, mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs.

* Nominative pronouns are the pronouns that function as the subject of a verb. Examples include: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.

"All" is a determiner. Determiners are words that come before nouns and modify them. They tell us how much, how many, or which noun we are referring to.

Examples of how "all" functions as a determiner:

* All the students were excited for the field trip.

* I ate all the cookies.
