Pretty tricky isn't it? You might think that "all" seems like an always plural adjective.

But let's see.

Todo el dia - All day.

Todos mis hermanos - All my brothers.

Toda mi familia - All of my family.

If you have to use todo all on its own, just try to think about what the noun is your using it to describe. Then figure out if that word is plural or singular.

For your specific example, of "you all," think of what conjugation you're using. Usually "you all" is in the plural category right?

¿Les gusta todos? - Do you all like it?

A todos de ustedes les gusta....

One example of when to use todos vs todo is when todo is an adjective and when the noun is singular .vs. plural.

todo el mundo

todo el libro= the entire book

todos los libros=all the books

Like any other adjective, todo must match the noun in gender and number.
