which one is a better construction n why?

Question

first :-
It rained last whole night. or
It rained whole last night.

second:-
It rained all last night. or
It rained last all night.

Answer 1

the first only makes sense if you add words: it rained THE whole OF last night. why? without the article "the", "whole" tries to be a direct object as "what fell from the sky". Adding the article, "whole" is transformed into an adverbial phrase describing the length of time it rained in the night --"the entire of/ every hour of the night".

second... either makes sense, but they have different meanings. "It rained every hour of the night" OR "the last time it rained was all night and hasn't rained since" (but it's a strange thing to say -- it rained last on Tuesday is better.) Ok, so the first is best.

did this help?

Answer 2

I'm afraid ur first neither makes sense.
Second: It rained all last night - means that it didn't stop raining last night. Hope this helps
