One of the uses of 全 (quán) is to indicate the entirety of something. It could be used for something like a ''whole'' household, an ''entire'' country, the ''whole'' world, etc.

== Used before Noun == === Structure === The structure is quite simple, just put 全 in front of the noun you want to emphasize "the whole" of. You cannot use it with 的. Pay attention to the types of nouns you can use with 全, since it is usually paired up with 身 (body), 家 (family), 国 (country), 世界 (world), 天 (day) and the like.
全 + Noun + 都 + Predicate
The [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Predicate predicate] part of the pattern can be a verb or an adjective. === Examples ===
* 我们 ''全'' 家 ''都'' 去 过 北京 。Wǒmen ''quán'' jiā ''dōu'' qù guo Běijīng.Our entire family has been to Beijing. * ''全'' 公司 的 人 ''都'' 不 喜欢 新 老板 。''Quán'' gōngsī de rén ''dōu'' bù xǐhuan xīn lǎobǎn.The whole company doesn't like the new boss. * 运动 完 以后 我 ''全'' 身 ''都'' 是 汗 。Yùndòng wán yǐhòu wǒ ''quán'' shēn ''dōu'' shì hàn.My whole body was sweaty after I finished exercising. * ''全'' 校 ''都'' 放假 了 。''Quán'' xiào ''dōu'' fàngjià le.The whole school is on break. * 这个 地方 ''全'' 年 ''都'' 很 热 。Zhège dìfang ''quán'' nián ''dōu'' hěn rè.It's hot here for the whole year.
== Used before Predicate == === Affirmative Form === Before a verb 全 can be omitted, but if it is used, the purpose is to emphasize the idea of "all" or "entire." ==== Structure ====
Subj. + 全都 + Predicate
==== Examples ====
* 大家 ''全'' ''都'' 到 了。Dàjiā ''quán'' ''dōu'' dào le.Everybody has arrived. * 奶奶 的 头发 ''全'' ''都'' 白 了。Nǎinai de tóufà ''quán'' ''dōu'' bái le.All of my grandma's hair turned white. * 我 妈妈 做 的 菜 ''全'' ''都'' 好吃 。Wǒ māma zuò de cài ''quán'' ''dōu'' hǎochī.All of the food that my mother makes is tasty. * 作业 ''全'' ''都'' 做 完 了 吗 ？Zuòyè ''quán'' ''dōu'' zuò wán le ma?Have you finished all your homework? * 你 ''全'' ''都'' 拿 走 吧。Nǐ ''quán'' ''dōu'' názǒu ba.Take them all.
=== Negative Form: Total Negation === ==== Structure ==== When you negate 全都 with 不 or 没 ''after'' it, you're not just saying "not entirely," you're saying "''none of it''" or "''not at all''."
Subj. + 全都 + 不 / 没 + Predicate
==== Examples ====
* 他们 ''全'' ''都'' 没 去 。Tāmen ''quán'' ''dōu'' méi qù.None of them went. * 这个 周末 我们 ''全'' ''都'' 不 在 家 。Zhège zhōumò wǒmen ''quán'' ''dōu'' bú zài jiā.None of us will be home this weekend. * 你们 ''全'' ''都'' 不 怕 吗 ？Nǐmen ''quán'' ''dōu'' bú pà ma?Are you all not afraid? * 这些 菜 ''全'' ''都'' 没 熟 。Zhèxiē cài ''quán'' ''dōu'' méi shóu.None of these foods are fully cooked. * 他 的 话 我 ''全'' ''都'' 不 相信 。Tā de huà wǒ ''quán'' ''dōu'' bù xiāngxìn.I don't believe anything he says.
=== Negative Pattern: Partial Negation === ==== Structure ==== When you negate by putting 不 or 没 ''before'' 全都, you're only ''partially'' negating. In other words, you're communicating "''not all''."
Subj.+ 不 / 没 + 全都 + Predicate
==== Examples ====
* 他 说 得 有 道理 ，但 我 不 ''全'' ''都'' 同意 。Tā shuō de yǒu dàolǐ, dàn wǒ bù ''quán'' ''dōu'' tóngyì.He has a point, but I can't say I agree on all of it. * 菜 太 多 了 ，我们 没 ''全'' ''都'' 吃完 。Cài tài duō le, wǒmen méi ''quán'' ''dōu'' chī wán.The food was too much. We didn't finish eating it all. * 昨天 作业 太 多 了 ，我 没 ''全'' ''都'' 做完 。Zuótiān zuòyè tài duō le, wǒ méi ''quán'' ''dōu'' zuò wán.I had too much homework yesterday. I didn't finish doing it all. * 我 的 家人 没 ''全'' ''都'' 来 参加 我 的 婚礼 。Wǒ de jiārén méi ''quán'' ''dōu'' lái cānjiā wǒ de hūnlǐ.Not all of my family came to my wedding. * 你 说 得 太 快 了 ， 我 没 ''全'' ''都'' 记 下来 。Nǐ shuō de tài kuài le, wǒ méi ''quán'' ''dōu'' jì xiàlái.You spoke too fast. I didn't write down all of what you said.
