PRACTICE WITH QUANTITY

Ex 1, pp. 109-110

1. many countries … much of the work

2. Not every one

3. All people

4. all the information

"I wasted two hours because all the information you gave me was wrong." Whole belongs to a category of words that we call "distributives." We tend to use whole more often with singular, concrete nouns than we use all the. Whole and all can be used with a number of abstract nouns, but not every single one. It's just a habit of the language. For example, we can say my whole life or all my life, but we don't say the whole information; we normally say all the information.   https://thegrammarexchange.infopop.cc/topic/the-whole-information-whole-and-all   … by using the whole one stresses the unity of an entity, not its multiple components. You will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This whole story has been made up. https://linguapress.com/grammar/points/all-whole.htm#:~:text=All%20and%20whole%20are%20quantifiers,They%20express%20totality%20or%20completeness.&text=All%20can%20refer%20to%20singular,with%20nouns%20in%20the%20singular .

Ex 5, p.111

Two years ago I moved to a new neighbourhood. There seem to be very few people in this area who are without telephones, so I expected to get a new phone quickly. I applied for one as soon as I moved into my new house. "We aren't supplying many new phones in your area," an engineer told me.

"A lot of people want new phones at the moment and the company is employing fewer engineers than last year so as to save money. A new phone won't cost you much money, but it will take a little time. We can't do anything for you before December." You need a lot of patience if you're waiting for a new phone and you need a few friends whose phones you can use as well. Fortunately, I had both. December came and went, but there was no sign of a phone. I went to the company's local to protest. "They told me I'd have a phone by December," I protested. "Which year?" the assistant asked.
