'the whole of' and 'whole'When you talk about the whole of something, you mean all of it. We were there for the whole of July.I felt pain throughout the whole of my body.Instead of using the whole of in front of a noun phrase beginning with the, you can simply use whole after the. For example, instead of saying 'The whole of the house was on fire', you can say 'The whole house was on fire'. I spent the whole day in the library.They're the best team in the whole world.You can use whole in a similar way after this, that, or a possessive. I just want to say how sorry I am about this whole business.I've never seen anything like this in my whole life.You use whole after a to emphasize that you mean all of something of a particular kind. We worked on the project for a whole year.I drank a whole pot of coffee, and I still felt tired.You can also use whole like this in front of the plural form of a noun. There were whole paragraphs in the article that I didn't understand.Be Careful!
In front of plurals, whole does not have the same meaning as all. If you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed. If you say 'Whole buildings have been destroyed', you mean that some buildings have been destroyed completely. 2. 'as a whole'You use as a whole after a noun to emphasize that you are talking about all of something and regarding it as a single unit. Is this true just of some classes, or of the school as a whole?In the country as a whole, average house prices went up by 19%.3. 'on the whole'You add on the whole to a statement to show that what you are saying is true in general but may not be true in every case. I didn't enjoy the food because on the whole I don't really like fish.On the whole it's not a good idea to ask him questions.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | whole - all of something including all its component elements or parts; "Europe considered as a whole"; "the whole of American literature"concept, conception, construct - an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instancesdivision, section, part - one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided and which together constitute a whole; "the written part of the exam"; "the finance section of the company"; "the BBC's engineering division"unit - a single undivided whole; "an idea is not a unit that can be moved from one brain to another"compound - a whole formed by a union of two or more elements or partscomplex, composite - a conceptual whole made up of complicated and related parts; "the complex of shopping malls, houses, and roads created a new town" | | 2. |  whole - an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity; "how big is that part compared to the whole?"; "the team is a unit"unitobject, physical object - a tangible and visible entity; an entity that can cast a shadow; "it was full of rackets, balls and other objects"congener - a whole (a thing or person) of the same kind or category as another; "lard was also used, though its congener, butter, was more frequently employed"; "the American shopkeeper differs from his European congener"animate thing, living thing - a living (or once living) entitynatural object - an object occurring naturally; not made by manartefact, artifact - a man-made object taken as a wholeassembly - a unit consisting of components that have been fitted togetheritem - a whole individual unit; especially when included in a list or collection; "they reduced the price on many items"part, portion - something less than the whole of a human artifact; "the rear part of the house"; "glue the two parts together"segment, section - one of several parts or pieces that fit with others to constitute a whole object; "a section of a fishing rod"; "metal sections were used below ground"; "finished the final segment of the road"aggregate, total, totality, sum - the whole amount | | Adj. | 1. |  whole - including all components without exception; being one unit or constituting the full amount or extent or duration; complete; "gave his whole attention"; "a whole wardrobe for the tropics"; "the whole hog"; "a whole week"; "the baby cried the whole trip home"; "a whole loaf of bread"complete - having every necessary or normal part or component or step; "a complete meal"; "a complete wardrobe"; "a complete set of the Britannica"; "a complete set of china"; "a complete defeat"; "a complete accounting"fractional - constituting or comprising a part or fraction of a possible whole or entirety; "a fractional share of the vote"; "a partial dose" | | 2. |  whole - (of siblings) having the same parents; "whole brothers and sisters"half - (of siblings) related through one parent only; "a half brother"; "half sister" | | 3. | whole - not injuredunharmed, unhurt, unscatheduninjured - not injured physically or mentally | | 4. | whole - exhibiting or restored to vigorous good health; "hale and hearty"; "whole in mind and body"; "a whole person again"halehealthy - having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease; "a rosy healthy baby"; "staying fit and healthy" | | 5. |  whole - acting together as a single undiversified whole; "a solid voting bloc"unanimous, solidundiversified - not diversified | | Adv. | 1. |  whole - to a complete degree or to the full or entire extent (`whole' is often used informally for `wholly'); "he was wholly convinced"; "entirely satisfied with the meal"; "it was completely different from what we expected"; "was completely at fault"; "a totally new situation"; "the directions were all wrong"; "it was not altogether her fault"; "an altogether new approach"; "a whole new idea"all, altogether, completely, entirely, totally, whollycolloquialism - a colloquial expression; characteristic of spoken or written communication that seeks to imitate informal speech |
