All y whole tienen significados parecidos, pero se usan en estructuras diferentes. All se coloca delante de un artículo, pronombre posesivo o demostrativo, mientras que whole se coloca después: all the world, pero the whole world; all your family, pero your whole family; all this time, pero this whole time. Recuerda que no puedes usar whole sin artículo o pronombre correspondiente ni con sustantivos que indican masa (incontables). Por tanto, la traducción de todo el vino es all the wine y no the whole wine.
El plural todos o todo el mundo se traduce por everybody o everyone. Aunque el verbo acompañante aparezca en singular, cualquier pronombre que emplees debe estar en plural: Todos deben traer sus propios bolígrafos. Everybody has to bring their (own) pens.

Ex: Plainly, it is not always the case that there is a connection between farming and spelling, and many other documents can be identified where these subjects are not connected.Ex: One obligation resting upon every public institution in a democracy is that of standing ready at all times to render an account of itself to the people.Ex: Any one document may be required by author, title, subject, form or other characteristics, but this one document can only be grouped according to one of these characteristics at any one time.Ex: New editions of DC are invariably greeted with cries of horror by libraries faced with this problem.Ex: In this section of the course you will be introduced to the Universal Decimal Classification which will be referred to throughout as the UDC.Ex: 'I know you want to do the best job you can -- not that you haven't all along'.Ex: If we get the right person, then he or she'll get the right people all the way down the line, and we'll be offering the kinds of services and doing the kinds of things a good public library should be offering and doing.Ex: Many others besides Rothstein have suspected the truth of these figures for years, bearing in mind Robert Kennedy's hardbitten politician's conclusion that `one fifth of the people are against everything all of the time' = Muchos otros junto con Rothstein han sospechado durante años de la verdad de estos datos, teniendo presente la conclusión del político escarmentado Robert Kennedy de que "una quinta parte de la gente está en contra de todo siempre".Ex: With technologies such as SMS, Podcasting, voice over IP (VoIP), and more becoming increasingly mainstream, the potential to provide instant, on-the-go reference is limitless.Ex: Three of the five councilors, one of whom is the mayor, thwart him at virtually every turn in his efforts on behalf of these institutions.Ex: All the way through, the Jews are portrayed as bloodthirsty.Ex: The males are the ones who bob and bow and hop around, warbling all the while.Ex: Since many people go into and out of the hospital at all hours, theft is a concern.* andar siempre detrás de las mujeres = womanise [womanize, -USA].* aunque no siempre = if not always.* casi siempre = almost invariably.* como siempre = as always.* de siempre = lifelong [life-long].* el cliente siempre tiene la razón = the customer is always right.* estar siempre + Adjetivo = be ever + Adjetivo.* estar siempre buscando = be on the lookout for.* estar siempre dispuesto a ayudar = be always willing to assist.* irse para siempre = go + forever.* marcharse para siempre = go + forever.* no siempre = not always.* para siempre = forever, in perpetuity, for good, eternally, terminally, ever after.* para siempre en el futuro = for the indefinite future.* perder para siempre = lose to + posterity.* perdido para siempre = irretrievably lost.* que siempre va a la última moda = fashion-conscious.* siempre cambiante = ever-changing [ever changing], ever-shifting.* siempre en danza = on the go.* siempre lo mismo = the same old thing.* siempre nuevo = ever-new.* siempre que = whenever, wherever, for as long as, on the condition that, with the condition that.* siempre queda una esperanza = where there's life there's hope.* siempre que lo solicite = at + Posesivo + request.* siempre querer más = enough + be + not/never + enough.* siempre que + ser + posible = whenever possible, when possible.* siempre que se solicite = upon + request.* siempre que se + Subjuntivo = as + Participio Pasado, when + Participio Pasado.* siempre que Uno puede dedicarle el tiempo = in + Posesivo + own time, on + Posesivo + own time.* siempre y cuando = subject to, on the condition that, with the condition that, if and when.* siempre y cuando + Subjuntivo = provided (that), as long as.* tan + Adjetivo + como siempre = as + Adjetivo + as ever.* tanto como siempre = as much as ever.* un minuto en los labios, para siempre en las caderas = a minute on the lips, forever on the hips.* volvemos siempre al principio = things swing full circle.* * *A alwaysse sale siempre or siempre se sale con la suya she always gets her own waycasi siempre acierta he's almost always rightno siempre es tan fácil it's not always so easycomo siempre as usual¿qué pasó?
