ENGLISH CONFUSION ❌

1.ACTUALLY
👉 Means in reality / in fact: (en fait, en réalité)

👉 Used to correct information or give the truth.

EXAMPLES:
-I thought he was American, but he’s actually British.
👉 Je pensais qu’il était Américain, mais en réalité il est Britannique.

-Actually, I don’t like coffee.
👉 En fait, je n’aime pas le café.

⚠️ Common mistake:

ALL TOGETHER vs ALTOGETHER 👇

1. All together (two words)
Part of speech: phrase
Meaning: everyone/everything in one place or at the same time

Examples
• Let’s sit all together.
• The students sang all together.
• We were all together in the hall.

👉 If you can insert “all” + “together physically”, use all together.

2. Altogether (one word)
Part of speech: adverb
Meaning: completely, totally, in general, overall

Examples
• I altogether disagree with you.
• The trip was altogether enjoyable.
• Altogether, the event was a success.
• It’s altogether different from what I expected.

👉 If you can replace it with completely or overall, use altogether.

Easy Memory Trick
• All together = in one group / at the same time
• Altogether = completely / overall

Common Mistakes
❌ We are altogether in the classroom.
✅ We are all together in the classroom.
