Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes say *"the entire of"* instead of using **"the entirety of"** or simply **"the entire [noun]"**. Use **"the entirety of the book"** or **"the entire book"**, not *"the entire of the book"*. Another mistake is dropping the article: in most cases in this sense you should say **"the entirety of"**, not *"entirety of"*.
