Altogether / all together

 

 

Altogether and all together do not mean the same thing. 

 

Altogether means 'in total' or (in British English) 'completely':

I am not altogether convinced by this argument.

 

All together means 'all in one place' or 'all at once': 

 

Can you put your books all together in this box? 

Let's sing 'Happy Birthday'. All together now!
