Grammar note
“Alles” is an indefinite pronoun that never changes its ending, regardless of case or gender — unlike regular adjectives, it stays “alles” whether it's subject, object, or anything else.
Common mistake
Don't try to decline “alles” like an adjective (“alles-en”, “alles-em”) — it's invariable in every case.
