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.

Togather Vs Together

·        Meaning of Togather

When I wrote ‘Togather’ it was showing incorrect in my laptop and should be corrected with ‘Together’. As I mentioned earlier the word ‘Togather’ is just a misspelling of the correct word as people often get confused in these two words due to similarities in spelling and pronunciation.

If you look at the word ‘Togather’ it literally means ‘to gather’ which means to gather a group of people but as it is written without space so it is automatically incorrect. This is the reason people write it incorrectly as ‘Togather’.

Examples

  • They are playing football togather. (incorrect)
  • People think Togather is the same as ‘to gather’ but it is not so.
  • To be togather in a relationship requires care and understanding. (incorrect)
  • The pattern in the English language isn’t always the same as in the case of Togather and Together.

·        Meaning of Together

Together means to arrange something in one place or location.

In terms of relationships, together means that the people are in love and are staying close to one another.

In other words, it could also be used as a combination or at the same time.

Examples

  • James and Clara are still together, I think they are planning to marry.
  • Keep all your clothes together in one cupboard so it will be easy to find.
  • She held her hand together as if she was praying.
