HSK 7-9
凡……（者），均（可）……
fán...(zhě), jūn (kě)...
All those who..., can/will... (formal)
Structure
凡 + Condition/Group + (者)，均 + (可/应/是) + Result/Verb
How it works
This formal construction is commonly used in legal documents, academic writing, or official notices to state a universal rule or condition. '凡' functions as 'every' or 'all', '者' acts as a nominalizer (those who/the things that), and '均' is a formal synonym for '都' (all/without exception).
Examples
凡年满十八周岁者，均有权参加选举。
Fán niánmǎn shíbā zhōusuì zhě, jūn yǒuquán cānjiā xuǎnjǔ.
All those who have reached the age of eighteen have the right to participate in elections.

Common mistakes
Using this structure in casual, spoken conversation; it is highly formal and sounds unnatural in daily speech where '只要...都' would be more appropriate.
Tip
The '者' is optional if the subject is already a clear noun phrase (like 'teachers and students'), but it is required if the preceding part is a verb phrase or a clause describing a type of person.
