Hello All, I know I asked earlier but this adverb "altogether" is giving me grief in a sentence. If someone could help me decide how to punctuate it if it needs it, I would so appreciate your help. Here is the sentence it is in: "I would have to drive at least five miles further to school, and many students would have to spend altogether too much time every day traveling back and forth".

So I think that I need to put in some commas but I cannot see how the typical rules for commas fit with this particular sentence. Thank you in advance for any help, Denise
