用法筆記

Position is the key challenge. 'Also' goes BEFORE the main verb (I also like tea), AFTER an auxiliary or modal (I can also swim; she has also called), and AFTER 'be' (he is also tired). At the start of a sentence, use 'Also,' with a comma to add a new point. Unlike 'too' and 'as well', 'also' is not normally placed at the end of a sentence.

常見錯誤

❌I like also coffee.
✅I also like coffee.
💡place 'also' before the main verb, not after it.
❌She also can swim very fast.
✅She can also swim very fast.
💡with a modal verb (can, will, should), put 'also' after the modal.
❌I want a tea also.
✅I want a tea too.' / 'I also want a tea.
💡'also' is not used at the end of a sentence; use 'too' or 'as well' there.
