Georgina

Hi! I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English. Do you ever wonder about the difference between all, every and whole? They all have similar meanings, but are used in different ways.

All means ‘the whole amount of something’. One hundred per cent. It is often followed by uncountable nouns or plural nouns. He ate all the sugar! All children love sweets.

Every has a similar meaning to all. It means ‘each one without exception’. I go to the gym every day.

Whole means ‘the complete amount of something’ and is followed by uncountable nouns or singular nouns. I ate the whole cake. The whole airport is closed.

Bye for now.
