A: Whole refers to an entire thing that’s usually in one piece. A whole sheet of blanket, a whole jungle.

All is referred to things that are many and are separate from one another. All people, all animals, all trees.

A: No difference in the meaning of the words, as "whole" and "entire" mean the same thing.

The differences are where you might use them. In almost every scenario you can use either and be confident that they sound perfectly natural.
"I ate the whole cake" is the same as "I ate the entire cake."
"My whole life has been dedicated to the pursuit of happiness" is the same as "My entire life has been..."

However there are rare examples where you would use one rather than the other.
For example, in the phrase "on the whole" (which means "in general") whole cannot be replaced with entire as the phrase doesn't work with any other words.
"On the whole, life is going well."
You can see "on the entire" wouldn't work here.

In maths, a "whole number" is a term for a number without any fractions or decimals (25 is a whole number whereas 25.55 is not) and since it's a scientific/mathematical term you can't say "entire number" in place of "whole number".

Hope this helps!

A: Both words are interchangeable, if u use “whole” or “all” is just down to personal preference, for example:

“She ate the whole cake”
“She ate all of the cake”

Both of the statements mean the exact same👍

A: on the whole - в общем, в целом (generally: I don't like portraits drawing, but, on the whole, I like drawing.)

In all - в общем, суммарно (with everything added together to make a total:
These things cost 50$ in all).

A: All and whole are quantifiers, and as such they are a form of determiner. They express totality or completeness.

   Sometimes one can choose either of them; but there are major differences in their usage, and all and whole are not always interchangeable 

All can refer to singular nouns or pronouns, or to plural nouns or pronouns.

Whole is essentially used with nouns in the singular. It is occasionally used as a descriptive adjective with nouns in the plural, and cannot normally be used with pronouns..

* Use all with plural countable nouns OR with uncountable nouns to mean 100% of many things:

- All of this equipment is new.
= many pieces of equipment

- All the students in the class have computers.

- All the necklaces in this store are expensive


Use whole or entire with uncountable or singular countable nouns to mean 100% of one thing:

- I ate the whole pizza.
= 100% of one pizza.

- I finished reading the entire book in three days.
=100% of one book.

Here are more examples that show the difference between all and whole:

-I ate the whole cake.
= 100% of one cake.

- I ate all the cakes.
= 100% of many cakes

- The whole apple is rotten.
= 100% of one apple.

- All the fruit is rotten.
= 100% of many apples, bananas, grapes, etc.

A: When something “overwhelms your taste buds” the flavor is too strong and you just have to stop eating for a bit.

If you eat too much very sweet food you might start to get sick of the sweetness and need something else. This is an example of overwhelming your taste buds.

In this case, either the pizza or a topping on the pizza is good, but too much of them end up tasting bad. Mixing it in with the sauce helps get rid of the intense flavor of whatever this is talking about.

A: Whose. I'm just as guilty as anyone for confusing this with who's. They sound exactly the same.
Whose is possessive. Example. "Whose car is in the driveway?" You want to know, who owns the car.
Who's is a contraction of "who is" or "who has"

"whose/who's" (Ignore the w, it's silent)

A: Sí.
