VOA一分钟英语：All, every 和 whole 之间的区别

“All, every” 和 “whole” 都可以用来表示 “全部，所有”，但它们的用法却不同。如果要说一个人把 “所有的” 糖都吃了，应该使用这三个词中的哪一个？如果要说一个人把 “整个” 蛋糕都吃了，又应该用哪个词？
 
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 – 100%! 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!
