Hello to all,
I have several problems when I have to write sometimes also and too. I don't know when I have to put one of them and when the other one. If someone could help me??
Thank you very much.

Anna, it seems like a simple question, but I wouldn't know where to begin on this one. Maybe you could give some examples, and then someone could explain each example.
Or maybe... Susan Wu. do you have an answer for this one? Obelix? Anyone? |

Anna, I found this at Cambridge Dictionaries:
too (ALSO)
adverb
1. (especially at the end of a sentence) in addition, also:
I'd like to come too.
INFORMAL "I love chocolate." "Me too."
2. used to show surprise:
It's a wonderful picture of light shining through trees - and by a child too!
Compare well (IN ADDITION); moreover; what's more at what (THAT WHICH).
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
So they seem to be saying that at the end of a sentence, 'too' is often used instead of 'also.' Another use is to emphasize surprise.
Hope that helps. |
