usually followed by singular nouns which can be counted, singular
countable nouns.

!!!
Before place names we usually use “THE whole OF”.

Be careful with the word order: "ALL the" "The/A
WHOLE"
WHOLE
and ALL
They
are sometimes possible in some common time expressions. Also with
some words depending on the sense you want to give them.
Examples
of time expressions: All the week / The whole week. All the
morning / The whole morning. All the life / The whole life
Examples
of some words and expressions. ALL THE it means the contents. THE
WHOLE it means the continent: All the office (the people working
within the office) / The whole office (it means the building)
!!! ALL
almost never loses “the”. For instance ALL Europe.
