Is "the all" not correct?

English Language Learners Asked on December 24, 2021

Is the sentence B not correct and is only A valid? Or are the both ok?

A. I’d like to know all the problems we’ve had so far.
B. I’d like to know the all problems we’ve had so far.

One Answer

"All" is a determinative functioning usually as a predeterminer as in (A). In cannot be an adjective or function as an attributive modifier. Therefore, (B) is ungrammatical. However, you can use "whole", eg. "the whole problems".
