All + everybody/everyone:

We do not normally use 'all' to mean 'everyone/everybody'.​

​

But we can say 'all of us'.​

​

Example:

All of us enjoyed the party.​

All + everything:

You can say 'all I can' or 'all I need'. You can also say 'all about'. This instead of 'everything'.​

​

Examples:

I'll do all I can to help.​

I'll do everything I can to help.​

​

We can use 'all' to mean the only ​thing(s). ​

​

Examples:

All I've done is ride my bike (I haven't done anything else).

Whole:

'Whole' means 'complete' or 'entire' and is used with singular nouns.​

​

Example:

I've read the whole book.​

​

We use the/pronouns before 'whole'.​

​

Example:

I've lived here my whole life.

All:

We use 'all' with uncountable nouns.​

​

Example:

I've spent all the money.​

​

With time we don't use 'the' before 'all'.​

​

Example:

I've waited all night. (all the night = wrong)

Every:

We use 'every' to say how often things happen.​

​

Examples:

Every time I see you, you look different.
