  2. All ready vs. Already All ready; a pronoun plus an adjective, means “all ready” or “everyone is ready.” Already is an adverb meaning “previously” or “by a particular time.”

  3. Examples: • The guests have already arrived. • We are all ready for the concert to begin.

  4. All together vs. Altogether All together, like all ready, is a pronoun plus an adjective. It means “all are together.” Altogether is an adverb meaning “entirely.”

  5. Examples: • I have an altogether different impression of Mr. T. • The Webbs were all together at Christmas time.
