:okay: ALSO, AS WELL, & TOO :okay:


Also, as well, and too have similar meanings, but they do not go in the same position in clauses.

Also goes with the verb, in mid position; as well and too usually go at the end of the clause. As well is less common in American English.

e.g.
She not only sings; she also plays the piano.
She not only sings; she plays the piano as well .
She not only sings; she plays the piano too.

As well and too do not go at the beginning of a clause. Also can go at the beginning of a clause to give more importance to a new piece of information.

e.g.
It's a nice house, but it's very small. Also, it needs a lot of repairs.
