also, either, plus, too also 意思是也, 是比 too 较为正式的用语, 通常用于肯定句中, 一般靠近动词。 例如 :He also asked to go. 他也要求去 。 too 意思也是也, 是最普通的用语, 常与 also 通用, 但不如 also 正式, 在口语中它 用得更多。 Surf on the net to search for more examples.

too 通常放于句末, 但有时为了不致引起 含糊不清的感觉, 把它紧放在所修饰的 词之后。它也通常用于肯定句中。 例如 : I, too, have been to Paris. 我也去过巴黎。 ( 这里明确表示人 家去过巴黎, 我也去过。而不是除 了去过某地以外, 还去过巴黎。 )

either 意思也是也。它用于否定句中, 而且要放在句末。 例如 : If you do not go ， I shall not either. 倘若你不去, 我也不去。 plus prep. 加上 This work requires intelligence plus experience. 这项工作需要才智和经验。
