Another

Typical mistakes: 

We need an other chair. 

I've got other three days holiday. 

1. 'Another' is written as one word. 

We need another chair. 

2. Normally, 'another' is followed by a singular noun: we can say 'another day', but not 'another days'. However, 'another' can be followed by 'few' or a number with a plural noun. 

I've got another three days holiday. 

There's room for another few people in the back of the bus. 

Note that instead of 'another three days, we could say 'three more days', but not (in this sense)'three other days'. 

All Vs Whole

Typical mistakes: 

The sat reading the all time. 

I've lived here my all life. 

Whole London was burning. 

She drank the whole wine. 

These two words are easy confuse, perhaps because their pronunciations are similar. 

1. 'Whole' and 'all' are often used with the same meaning. However, the word order is different. 'All' come before an article, possessive or other 'determiner'; 'whole' comes after articles, ete. Compare the following: 

All the time     the whole time 

All my life       my whole life 

All this confusion     this whole confusion 

Note what 'whole' cannot be used with a singular noun if there is no article or other determiner. You can say 'The whole city was burning, but not 'Whole London was burning.' 

2. With plural nouns, 'whole' and 'all' have different meanings. 'Whole' mean 'complete', 'entire'; 'all' has a similar meaning to 'every'. Compare the following: 

All Indian tribe suffered from white settlement in America (= Every Indian tribe suffered...). 

Whole Indian tribes were killed off (= Complete tribes were killed off; nobody was left alive in these tribes). 

3. 'Whole' is not used so often with uncountable nouns and cannot be used with mass nouns. You can say 'all the money', or 'all the wine', but not 'the whole money' or the 'the whole wine'. 

4. The expression 'the whole of' can be used with singular words instead of 'whole'. 'The whole of' comes before articles, possessives, etc. 

The whole of the time     The whole of this confusion     The whole of my life 

All Vs Every

'All' and 'every' have quite similar meanings. They can both be used to talk about people or things in general: note that 'all' can be used with a plural noun and verb, but that 'ever' is only used with singular words. 

All Mondays are horrible. 

Every Monday is horrible. 

Not all Welshmen speak Welsh. 

'All' and 'every' can also be used to talk about the members of a particular group. 'All' is followed by 'the' or another 'determiner'; 'every' is not. 'Every' often emphasizes the idea that there is no exception. 

She's eaten all the biscuits.'     'What, ever one?'     'Every single one!' 

'All' can also be used with a singular word to mean 'every part of'. 'Every' cannot have this meaning. Compare the following: 

She was here all day (= the whole of the day). 

She was here every day (= she didn't miss a day).
