Completely versus gathered in one place.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

The family sat down altogether for dinner.

✓ Correct

The family sat down all together for dinner.

ALTOGETHER = entirely. ALL TOGETHER = in a group.

ALTOGETHER is one word meaning wholly or on the whole. ALL TOGETHER is two words meaning united in one place or time.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

Can you split "all" and "together"? If yes, two words.
