Can you put the following sentence
She raised him along with his siblings.
in a way that the word together has the same meaning as the word along in the sentence above?
If you would say
She raised him together with his siblings.
it would mean that his siblings helped raising him.
Is that right or am I mistaken here?
Could you use together and still convey the same meaning as the first sentence? For example:
She raised them all together.
Best Answer
In your first example,
along is part of a multi-word preposition: along with. If you take out along, it will still make sense, but it will just sound different.
In your second example,
This means that not only did she raise him, she also raised his siblings. They are relatively the same thing. Again, together is in a two-word preposition: together with. It cannot mean that she had help from his siblings raising him, since you said together with.
Your third sentence:
Together is now a single-word adverb. If you take out all, the sentence will become
where together is the adverb.
Hope this helps!
