The Cambridge dictionary says:
We use the whole or the whole of to refer to complete single things and events that are countable and defined:
The whole performance was disappointing from start to finish
In other words, what would be these " singles things and events" ? I truly couldn't understand. It's very vague.
In addition, the Cambridge dic also says:
When we can split up a thing into parts, we can use either whole or all with the same meaning:
You don’t have to pay the whole (of the) bill at once.
You don’t have to pay all (of) the bill at once.
How, for example, can an electricity bill be slipped up? Isn't it one thing? I can't imagine myslef splitting up a bill.
Thank you, people.
