Questions & Answers about Todos preguntan sobre la fiesta.

Why is the word sobre used here instead of something else like acerca de?

In Spanish, sobre is a very common preposition to mean "about" or "regarding". You can often substitute it with acerca de without changing the meaning, but sobre is shorter and slightly more common in everyday speech.

Why do we say Todos preguntan and not Todo el mundo pregunta?

Both todos (meaning "everyone" or "all of them") and todo el mundo (literally "all the world", but practically meaning "everyone") express the same idea. Todos preguntan is a bit more direct and sounds slightly more concise. Using todo el mundo pregunta is perfectly valid too, just a stylistic difference.

Is there any difference between using sobre and por when talking about a topic?

Yes. Sobre focuses on the topic itself ("about/regarding the party"), while por can have other nuances like reasons or motivations ("asking because of the party"). In the context of "asking about something," the typical preposition is sobre or acerca de, so por would sound off here.

Does todos ever need an accent mark?

No, todos never carries an accent mark because it's a standard plural pronoun/determiner meaning "everyone" or "all." It isn't an interrogative or exclamatory word (those would have accents, like qué, cómo, etc.).

Why is it la fiesta and not una fiesta?

Using la fiesta makes the party a specific, known event—everyone knows which party is being talked about. If you said una fiesta, it would feel less specific, like referring to just "a party" without assuming everyone knows about it.
