The words in the English language can’t be written by following the same pattern as most of the words follow different patterns. The same confusion occurs between the words ‘Togather or Together’. People often write it as ‘Togather’ by joining the word ‘to’ + ‘gather’.
But the word ‘Togather’ is a misspelling of the ideal word ‘Together’. It is often misspelled due to similarities in spelling and pronunciation. This is the reason people often find its meaning wrong.
So, today in this article I will help you with the difference between these two words by their meanings and the usage of the correct word in sentences.
