Also / Too / Either
Also
Also placed in the middle of a sentence, not a sentence at the beginning or end of a sentence.
USE
"Also"
is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought.
Examples:
- Jane speaks French. Sam also speaks French.
- I love chocolate. I also love pizza.
- Frank can come with us. Nancy can also come with us.
PLACEMENT
"Also"
comes after "to be."
Examples:
- I am also Canadian.
- I was also there.
With
verbs other than "to be," "also" comes before single verb
forms.
Examples:
- I also sing.
- He also helped us.
In
verb tenses with many parts, "also" comes after the first part and
before the second.
Examples:
- I have also been to Hong Kong.
- I am also studying economics.
Similarly,
since modal verbs are usually followed by a second verb, "also" comes
after modal verbs.
Examples:
- I can also speak French.
- I should also be there.
Too
and either
After a clause there can be a short
addition with too or either, to say that what is true of one thing is also true
of another.
Positive:
subject + auxiliary + too
e.g: I’m falling asleep. ~ I’m, too.
I’ve spent all my money. ~ I have too.
subject + auxiliary + too
e.g: I’m falling asleep. ~ I’m, too.
I’ve spent all my money. ~ I have too.
