The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of the words "also,"
"too" and "either." After you have studied the tutorial, complete the
associated exercises. If you already know how to use these words, you
can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises.
Also
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:
With verbs other than "to be," "also" comes before single verb forms.- I am also Canadian.
- I was also there.
Examples:
In verb tenses with many parts, "also" comes after the first part and before the second.- I also sing.
- He also helped us.
Examples:
Similarly, since modal verbs are usually followed by a second verb, "also" comes after modal verbs.- I have also been to Hong Kong.
- I am also studying economics.
Examples:
- I can also speak French.
- I should also be there.
