Meaning: Whole means todo, entero, la totalidad.
Usage: whole + countable nouns.
Examples: the whole
day, the whole week, the whole morning, the whole school, the whole country,
the whole world, the whole class, the whole family.
Advanced points:
1.It is most often found with singulars. If it goes with a plural noun, the meaning is not the same as ALL:
All the villages were destroyed in the war. (todos los pueblos)
Whole villages were destroyed in the war. (pueblos enteros)
2.Before proper nouns (nombres propios), use the whole of:
The whole of Spain was in a state of shock.
Remember: ¡No suena como WALL ni parecido!
