All is often used to mean the same as whole but when used in front of plurals, all and whole have different meanings. For example, if you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed. If you say 'Whole buildings have been destroyed', you mean that some buildings have been destroyed completely. Note that when all is used to consider a group, this means that the group has more than two members. To refer to two people or things, you use both. Tony and Nigel both laughed. You use every to refer to all the members of a group that has more than two members. He listened to every news bulletin. ...an equal chance for every child. You use each to refer to every person or thing in a group when you are thinking about them as individuals. Note that each can be used to refer to both members of a pair. Each apartment has two bedrooms... We each carried a suitcase. Note that each and every are only used with singular nouns.
all的含義通常與whole相同,但用於複數名詞前時,兩者意義不同。例如,All the buildings have been destroyed 意爲所有大樓都被毀了。若說Whole buildings have been destroyed 則意爲一些大樓被整棟摧毀了。注意當all用來指一個團體時,該團體有兩個以上的成員。若指兩者,用both,例如:Tony and Nigel both laughed(托尼和奈傑爾都笑了)。every用於指包括兩個以上成員的團體的所有成員:He listened to every news bulletin(每次新聞簡報他都聽),an equal chance for every child(所有孩子都享有的平等機會)。each用於指被視作個體的每位團體成員。注意each也可指兩者中的任一個:Each apartment has two bedrooms (每套公寓都有兩間卧室),We each carried a suitcase(我倆每人拎一個箱子)。注意each和every只和單數名詞連用。

Note that you do not use after all if you want to talk about what happens at the end of a long period, instead you use at last, finally, in the end, lastly, or last of all. You use at last or finally when you have been waiting for or expecting something for a long time. At last usually comes at the end of a sentence. The storm that had threatened came at last. Finally usually comes at the beginning of a sentence or before a verb. After another search they finally located the house. You also use finally to talk about something that is the last in a series of things. He lived in Turkey, France, Norway, and finally Mexico. You use in the end when talking about something that happens after a long time or a long process. Perhaps the police got him in the end... In the end, Peter seemed quite happy. You use lastly to talk about the last of a series of people or things. I went through the bathroom, the bedroom, and lastly the sitting room. You use last of all to emphasize that there is nobody or nothing else after the person or thing you mention. Last of all came the cat.
請注意,談論很長一段時間之後最終發生的事時,不用after all而用at last, finally, in the end, lastly或last of all。表示經歷了長久的等待或期待時用at last或finally。at last通常用於句末,例如,The storm that had threatened came at last(醞釀已久的暴風雨最終來臨了)。finally通常用於句首或動詞前:After another search they finally located the house(再次搜尋之後,他們終於找到了那幢房子)。finally也用於表示一系列事物的最後一件:He lived in Turkey, France, Norway, and finally Mexico (他曾在土耳其、法國、挪威生活過,最後來到了墨西哥)。in the end表示經歷了較長的時間或過程之後事情才發生:Perhaps the police got him in the end(可能警方最終將他抓獲了);In the end, Peter seemed quite happy(最後,彼得似乎挺高興的)。lastly用於談論一連串人或事物的最後一個或一件:I went through the bathroom, the bedroom, and lastly the sitting room(我把浴室、卧室,最後還有起居室都找了個遍)。last of all用於強調所提及人或事物之後再無其他了:Last of all came the cat(最後出場的是貓)。
