Lesson 22 of 126
The lesson
2.6 も — Also...
Overview
Learn how the particle も is used to say “also” or “too”. It replaces は or が and adds something to what is already true.
The particle も is used to say that something also applies. It adds an item to what is already true.
も replaces は or が. It does not stack with them.
When は is used, it simply states a fact. When も is used, it adds something to an existing idea.
も can also replace が and include the subject among others.
More than one も can appear in the same sentence.
Using も always assumes that something else is already true and adds one more item to it.
