Today's English lesson

From EnglishPlus.com:


All Right, Already!


All ready (two words) means "ready," with the word all.

Already, an adverb, means "by now," "even now," or "by then."

Examples:

We were all ready to study grammar.

The plane had already left when we arrived.


Alright is a nonstandard abbreviation.

Spelling all right as two words is all right. There is no such word as "alright."
