A common error: I or me | "many" vs "much more"

Hi,

What is the difference between "all the + noun" and "all of the + noun", for example, I've heard both of these expressions: "all the players" and "all of the players" ?

best regards

Hi FiveStar

The word "of" is generally optional in the construction "all (of) the (noun)".
