Sam

Hello everyone, Sam here, and in this lesson we're going to look at the difference between also, as well and too.

Their meanings are similar – we are adding something – but we use them slightly differently in a sentence.

We use also with the verb, in the middle of the sentence:

He's really good at tennis, but he also plays football really well.

Or, you can use it at the beginning of the sentence to add emphasis:

He's really good at tennis. Also, he plays football really well.

As well and too go at the end of the sentence:

He's really good at tennis, and he plays football really well too.

He's really good at tennis, and he plays football really well as well.

The only slight difference is that as well is less common in American English and more common in British English than too.

So, what about you? Are you only learning English or are you studying other languages as well?
