"Too" and "also"

Too and also sometimes mean the same thing but often are used in a different word order in a sentence.

Let's look at some examples of sentences that mean the same thing where the words must appear in different order:

I'm also from North Dakota. / I'm from North Dakota, too.

My neighbors were also at the show that night. / My neighbors were at the show that night too.

We are selling the house and also the furniture. / We are selling the house and the furniture too.

She's a talented singer and also a fine actress. / She's a talented singer and a fine actress too.

The above examples using too (the second version of each) may use also as the last word in each sentence, although this construction is less frequently seen than that which uses too. On the other hand, the above sentences using also (the first version of each)would almost never be written with too in place of also in the middle of each sentence.

The above example sentences work best when too and also are in different places. Sometimes too and also are used in the same position:

We also/too were caught in the rain.

We were caught in the rain also/too.

I'm going tomorrow also/too.

Too is the more common choice when the word occurs last in a sentence:

We're coming too.

"I'd like some salad." "Me, too."
