English In A Minute All together vs Altogether

This is not a word-for-word transcript

Phil Hi I'm Phil and I'm going to tell you the difference between all together and altogether. Yes, they sound the same, but they're not.

All together ? that's two words and two 'L's ? means everything or everyone being or doing something together with everything or everyone else. Let's sing all together! Or: Put the vegetables in the bowl and mix them all together.

Altogether ? that's one word and one 'L' ? is an adverb and it means completely or entirely. My brother has an altogether different personality to me. He's nothing like me!

So if you have altogether as one complete word, it means completely or entirely. And if we have all together as two words together then that means everything or everyone together.
