How to Use All and Whole?

All can refer to singular nouns or pronouns, or to plural nouns or pronouns. Whole is essentially used with nouns in the singular. It is occasionally used as a descriptive adjective with nouns in the plural, and cannot normally be used with pronouns..

How do you use whole?

Whole is a determiner. We use whole before nouns and after other determiners (my, the, a/an, their) to talk about quantity. We use it to describe the completeness of something: I've wanted to be an actor my whole life.

What's the difference between all whole and entire?

“Entire” and “whole (of the)” are synonyms and usually interchangeable. “Entire” is more formal. “Entire” can be used with singular countable nouns, e.g.: The lessor has leased the entire building.
