Also x As well x Too
USE:
"Also" is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought.
PLACEMENT:
"Also" comes after "to be."
USE:
"Too" is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought. It has the same meaning as "also," but its placement within the sentence is different.
PLACEMENT:
"Too" usually comes at the end of a clause.
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.
I am also Canadian.
I was also there.
*With verbs other than "to be," "also" comes before single verb forms.
I also sing.
He also helped us.
*In verb tenses with many parts, "also" comes after the first part and before the second.
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.
I can also speak French.
I should also be there.
USE:
as well = too
PLACEMENT:
Use them at the end of sentences.
Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam speaks French too.
I love chocolate. I love pizza too.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can come with us too.
I am Canadian too.
I can speak French too.
I am studying economics too.
If he wants to go too, he should meet us at 8:00.
IMPORTANT!!!
Although "too" is usually placed at the end of a clause, it can sometimes be used with commas after the subject of the sentence. This is usually only done in formal speech.
Examples:
Mr. Jones wanted the contract. Ms. Jackson, too, thought it was necessary.
Donna is working on a solution to the problem. I, too, am trying to find a way to resolve the conflict.
Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam speaks French as well.
I love chocolate. I love pizza as well.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can come with us as well.
I was there as well.
A: I like chicken.
B: I like chicken as well. = I like chicken, too.
IMPORTANT!!!
When you use "as well as", a cooperator, you need to complete that phrase with a complement: I can do it as well as he. I can do it as well as she does.
When you use "as well" by itself, it often means "also" or "too": Can you speak Spanish? I can do it as well. = I can also speak it. = I can too.
Sometimes people use a short "as well" in a way that is similar to using "as well as". She speaks beautifully. He speaks (just) as well. = He speaks just as well as she does.
