Hello everyone, Sam here, and in this lesson

we're going to look at the difference between
1
2360
1940
00:04
'also', 'as well' and 'too'.
2
4300
3289
00:07
Their meanings are similar – we are adding something –
3
7589
3271
00:10
but we use them slightly differently
4
10860
2150
00:13
in a sentence.
5
13010
1000
00:14
We use 'also' with the verb,
6
14010
2170
00:16
in the middle of the sentence:
7
16180
2100
00:18
'He's really good at tennis, but he also plays
8
18280
3120
00:21
football really well.'
9
21400
1540
00:22
Or, you can use it at the beginning of the
10
22940
2460
00:25
sentence to add emphasis:
11
25400
2380
00:27
'He's really good at tennis. Also, he plays
12
27780
3660
00:31
football really well.'
13
31440
1150
00:32
'As well' and 'too' go at the end of the sentence:
14
32590
4000
00:36
'He's really good at tennis, and he plays football
15
36590
2310
00:38
really well too.'
16
38900
1420
00:40
'He's really good at tennis, and he plays football
17
40320
2560
00:42
really well as well.'
18
42880
1199
00:44
The only slight difference is that 'as well'
19
44079
2541
00:46
is less common in American English and more
20
46620
3140
00:49
common in British English than 'too'.

So, what about you? Are you only learning
22

2600
00:54
English or are you studying other languages
23

00:57
as well?
