Determiner "all" with these nouns correct?
Hi. Please tell me if this phrase is correct. I think we normally use the determiner "all" with a plural noun or uncountable noun (not sure though), but I think the word "world' is neither a plural noun nor an uncountable noun.
into all the world
I think I also have seen the determiner used with a name of a country.
eg,
all China
into all the world

into all (of) the world all (of) China These are both fine. As you can see, there is an optional 'of', and 'all' means a 100% portion of something.
