Here's this month's School Tip

Did you know? Grammar can be cool.

All ready vs. already

All ready (two words) means "ready," with the word all, meaning completely ready. For example, you would write "we are all ready to go school so we might as well leave."

Already, an adverb, means "by now," "even now," or "by then." For example, you would write "We went to pick up our friends on our way to school, but they had already left.

Try this sentence yourself: "You ________ told me to put dinner in the oven once it is _______."

Answer: "You already told me to put dinner in the oven once it is all ready."
