All / Every

All / every / Whole

  • We do not normally use all to mean everybody/everyone:
Ex _ Everybody enjoyed the party (not all enjoyed......)
  • but note that we say all of us / you / them, not everybody of......
Ex _ All of us enjoyed the party. (not everybody of us)

All and everything 
  • Some times you can use all and everything:
Ex _  I will do all I can to help or I will do everything I can to help.  
         He thinks he knows everything (not he knows all)
         Our holiday was a disaster. Everything went wrong(not all went wrong)
  • We use all in the expression all about:
Ex _ They told us all about their holiday.
