Please, take a look at my senteces and help me.
- None of these clothes have been looking good on you. (is it correct to write have instead of has for:"None of these clothes" ?And is the verb tense used here correct?).
- My mouth was wide open when I saw that accident yesterday.(is there any mistake here, please?).
- One of my curiosities is to see how (or as ?) the French way of life is.(is there any mistake here, please?).
- As they arrived there, it began to rain. (any mistake here, please ?). By the way do we say began to rain or began raining?
- The whole of the time is the same as all the time? E.g.: She has been repeating the same story the whole of the time .
- My grandfather had particularly been looking for a retirement home, but my dad decided that he would live with us.(here is the position of the word particularly correct in this sentence, please ?)
- Should we say he is qualified for the job or he is qualified to the job? And in the end or at the end they decided to travel ?
Thanks in advance,
Anon.

"The whole of the time" doesn't sound terribly idiomatic to me. Is it used in BrE?
I'd say "the whole time" to refer to all of a specific period of time, and I'd most likely use "all the time" to mean extremely frequently or constantly.
