Grammar
Will you give the all/total/whole 6 scores to .....
Hello,
Context: in the universities we students usually take mid term exam that the score is out of 6. But some teachers give the 6 scores without giving any exams to students. They give the 6 scores to a student who attends all the sessions
of the class. In this context I want to ask my teacher a question but not sure if it's grammatically ok or natural.
1. "Mr. Smith, will you give the whole 6 scores to the students who attend all sessions?"
2. "Mr. Smith, will you give the all 6 scores to the students who attend all sessions?"
3. "Mr. Smith, will you give the all 6 scores to any students who attend all sessions?"
4. "Mr. Smith, will you give the whole 6 scores to any student who attend every session?"
5. "Mr. Smith, will you give the total 6 scores to a student who attends all sessions?"
6. "Mr. Smith, will you give the whole 6 scores to the students who attend all classes?"
I am confused about the word orders in my self made examples. Would you please help me on them?
What's your opinion about them? If you were me, how would you say it?
Thank you

I would say, Mr. Smith, are you planning to give 6 points to every student who attends all (the) sessions? 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 points are all 'score's, so it's 6 points rather than 6 scores.

- 'planning to' is more polite than 'will', and suggests to him there may be other options.
- these are all fine as elements:- the whole 6 points (with the) all six points (without 'the') the students any student any (of the) students every student a student all sessions all the sessions using 'any student' can be ambiguous as in one use it can imply he will give it to none, and in another use implies he will give it to all - it depends on the tone of voice or context.
