1. 屬正式用詞,主要用于肯定句或疑問句,一般不用于否定句 (否定句可用 either),它在句中通常放在實義動詞之前,特殊動詞 (動詞be、情態(tài)動詞、助動詞)之后,有時也放在整個謂語前面或放在句首或句尾 (較少見,且多半是因為強調之故)。如:I’ve also read the book. 我也讀過這本書。This room was also dirty. This room alsowas dirty. This room was dirty also.
Also this room wasdirty. 這個房間也很臟。
2. 有時由于 also 位置不同,可能會導致句子含義不同。如:We alsoregard him as a great writer today. 我們也 (同別人一樣)把他看成當今偉大的作家。We regard also him as a great writertoday. 我們把他 (We regard also him as a great writertoday. 也看成當今偉大的作家。
We regardhim as a great writer also today. 我們仍 (同其它時候一樣)把他看成當今偉大的作家。
3. 在簡略答語中,習慣上不用3.also, 如一般不說 I also, 但可說Metoo, You too等之類的。如:A:I’m tired. 我累了。B:Me too. 我也是。
B:I also. (誤)
