Tip: If the two terms can be separated, that's a sure clue that the term you want is all together.
It's time for all of us to sing together now!
The last time all of us were together was in 1997.
Put all the books together on the table.
Notice how all and together are apart and the meaning of the sentence does not change.
AltogetherAltogether is an adverb and means "all in all," "all told," "wholly" or "completely."
That was altogether (completely) too difficult
Altogether (all in all) , not a bad day's work.
It cost over a thousand dollars altogether (in total).
If you can replace the term with something like "completely" or "all in all," you are altogether better off with altogether. If you can rewrite the sentence to use all and together separately, the term you want is all together.
