 |  Subject: Adding all, till, full to Words  Thu Nov 26, 2015 12:04 am | |

Adding all, till, full to words.
To add full to the end of a word, we drop one 'L'
use+ full = useful, helpful, beautiful, hopeful, painful, grateful...
We also drop the 'L' when we add full to the beginning of a word as in
full + fill = fulfil, fulfilment, fulfilled.
Dropping one 'L' also occurs when we add all and till to words.
Un + till = until
We can use till on its own.
Until and till mean the same thing but till is more informal.
When we add all to the beginning of words we drop the 'L'
all + so = also
all+most = almost
although
always
almighty
already
alright (all right as two words is used in formal/business English)
* Altogether (note that altogether and all together do not mean the same thing.
Altogether means 'in total', as in there are six bedrooms altogether,
whereas all together means 'all in one place' or 'all at once', as in it was
good to have a group of friends all together, they came in all together.
