I'm not convinced that together is an adverb in "Jenny and Mark have been together since they went on holiday to Mexico." Why isn't it an adjective? It's the same as saying "We are together" as in "We are in a relationship".
Also, I'm inclined to think that "put together" should be considered it's own distinct verb phrase rather than an adverb modifying "put".
I'd like to hear what other people have to say about this.
- If memory serves, I remember we used to say "go together" (e.g. Are you guys going together ?) for going steady. Isn't "be together" just a variation of that phrase ? ("be (going) together") ? Leasnam (talk) 16:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
- The question is whether there is any way of knowing if a word construed with a copula is an adverb or adjective. At least I for one am not aware of such a criterion. I'd said that "together" is originally and predominantly an adverb, so that's why it's considered an adverb in "be together". The sense "well organised" is different, because you can say "a very together person", which proves it to be an adjective in that particular sense. --- As for "put together", I don't think that calling it a "distinct verb phrase" and calling it a combination of verb + adverb are mutually exclusive. It's a compound verb with a verb component and an adverb component. 90.186.83.171 22:43, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Together appears in many a redundancy, except when it's part of a set phrase (e.g., join together in a marriage ceremony). --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
