Qual a diferença entre ALL e WHOLE
Ambos em português podem significar"todo", então é bem difícil diferenciar quando devo usar uma ou a outra.

I'm not going to attempt to reply in Portuguese; perhaps you can understand my English, since no-one else has answered you yet.
The most visible difference is that "all" can be used with plurals, which "whole" cannot:
"All the children in the class sat quietly." (Referring to just the children in the class.)
"All children need enough time to play." (All children anywhere.)
You can't use "whole" in this context.
On the other hand "whole" refers only to the completeness of an entity. "All" can perform this function, too. (But the auxiliary words or their order can be different.)
"The whole class sat quietly."
"All the class was quiet."
"I worked the whole day."
"I worked all day."
Sometimes "whole" means "intact", and you can't always use "all" with the same meaning.
"I'm roasting a whole turkey for Christmas" (It will be cooked and served intact.)
"I'm cooking all the chicken." (All that is available, which may already be cut up, from different animals, etc.)
There are also some further specific meanings of "all", and quite a few expressions, but I'll refer you to a textbook for those.

•All is used before definite articles and is used to talk about everything about a specific noun.
•Whole is used after definite articles and it is used to talk about a complete something, like a complete cake or something else

'All' significa 'todo' 'todos' 'todas'. Você pode usar 'all' com substantivos no singular e no plural.
All the books = todos os livros
'Whole' significa 'inteiro'. Você pode usar 'whole' só com substantivos no singular
The whole book = todo o livro
A whole day = um dia inteiro
Espero que isso ajude.
