also, as well and too

also, as well and too

[clause + as well
clause + too]
[ subject + also + verb . ..
subject + be + also + complement]
  • As well and too usually come at the end of a clause. They mean the same.
      She not only sings; she plays the piano as well.
      We all went to Brighton yesterday. John came too
    As well and too can refer to ('point to') different parts of the sentence, depending on the meaning. Consider the sentence: We have meetings on Sundays as well. This can mean three different things:
      a. (Other people have meetings on Sundays, and)
      I j=i-.
      we have meetings on Sundays as well.
      b. (We go for walks on Sundays, and)
      we have meetings on Sundays as well.
      c. (We have meetings on Tuesdays, and)
      1 —i
      we have meetings on Sundays as well.
      When we speak, we show the exact meaning by stressing the word that
      as well or too refers to.
      r
      'We have meetings on Sundays as well.
  • Too and as well are often used in 'short answers'.
      'She's nice. 'I think so too '
      'I've got a headache. ' 'I have as well '
    In very informal speech, we often use Me too as a short answer.
      'I'm going home. ' Me too '
    In a more formal style, we would say I am too, or So am I.
  • We usually put also before the verb .
      I don't like him I also think he's dishonest.
      She sings, and she also plays the piano.
    Also comes after am, is, are, was and were.
      I'm hungry, and Tm also very tired.
    Also can refer to any part of the sentence, like as well and too.
    We do not use also in short answers.
    I 'm hungry.I am too. ' / 'So am I. ' / 'Me too. ' / I am as well. '
    (Not I also)
  • [Also+comma] can be used at the beginning of a sentence, to refer to the whole sentence.
      It's a nice house, but it's very small. Also it needs a lot of repairs.
  • We do not usually use also, as well and too in negative sentences. Instead, we use structures with not .. . either, neither or nor. Compare:
      He's there too.— He isn't there either
      I like you as well. — I don't like you either
      I do too.— Nor do I.
