FAQs
What does "altogether" mean, and how does it differ from "all together"?
"Altogether" means entirely or completely. "All together" means everyone or everything in one place or group. The phrase "altogether support" is generally incorrect as "altogether" doesn't directly modify a verb like support.
What can I say instead of "altogether support"?
Depending on the context, you can use alternatives like "fully support", "completely support", or "wholeheartedly support". These alternatives are grammatically sound and convey the intended meaning more effectively.
Is it correct to say "they altogether support the initiative"?
While grammatically, it's more correct to say "they all together support the initiative" if you mean they support it as a group, it would be much more standard to rephrase to "they fully support the initiative" or "they completely support the initiative".
What are some common mistakes people make when using "altogether"?
A common mistake is placing "altogether" directly before a verb it doesn't properly modify, like in "altogether support". It's better to use it to modify the entire sentence or replace it with a more suitable adverb that directly modifies the verb, such as "completely" or "fully".
