Meanings and differences among “also”, “too”, “as well” and “either”

Today I will tell you about meanings and differences among “also”, “too”, “as well” and “either”. 

Each of these words is adverbs and translated as “ həmçinin ", but can they replace one another in every situation and always?  🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Although these words have the same meaning, we use them in different situations and in different places when we use them in sentences. 

Now, I will tell you where and how to use them correctly. 

“Also” - is more formal, commonly used in writing than in speaking. We use this adverb in positive sentences. 

Used before the main verb:

She works very hard but she *also* _go_ to the gym every week. 

Used after “to be” and the modal verb:

I can *also* swim. 

I am *also* a student.

Used in front position to emphasize what follows or to add a new point or topic:

It’s very humid. *Also*, you can easily get sunburnt. 

❗️Don’t use in negative sentences. 

“Too” - commonly used in spoken and informal English, usually used in end position. We use this adverb in positive sentences:

I’d like to come, *too*. 

❗️If “Too” comes in front of the adjective it means “ more than normal”, “ very”. 

This bag is too big to carry. 

❗️❗️Don’t use in negative sentences. 

“As well” - commonly used in speaking, used at the end of the sentences. We use this adverb in positive sentences:

Are you coming *as well*?

❗️”As well” almost always comes in end position. 

❗️❗️Don’t use in negative sentences.

"Either” - we use “either” not “also”, “as well “ or “ too “ to connect two negative ideas. 

Bill’s not here. I don’t think Dave either, is he?
