also, as well, too
also 也
also放在動詞前面,意思是「也」
- Adults also clean the table.
- Can we also have a big cake?
- He also asked if I like cats.
- I can also help you.(我也可以幫你。)
- But it’s also a very important song.
放在be動詞後面 + also
-
He is also a student.(他也是個學生。)
-
He bought coffee, and also tea.他买了咖啡,还有茶。
- 原句:He bought coffee, and he also bought tea.
- 因為前面已經提過動詞 bought 和主詞 he 了,為了避免重複,英文口語會把重複的動詞省略,只留下連接詞 and、副詞 also,以及被補充的名詞 tea。所以 also 實際上是在修飾被省略的動詞概念(亦即:他「也」買了茶),而不是直接當作 tea 的形容詞。
as well 也
as well 放在最後,意思是「也」
- Yes, I like the lunch as well.
- Is Anna going to the party with us as well?
- My friend will come with me as well.
too 也
too放在句子的最後面,前面(可加或不加)逗號
- Adults clean the table, too.(too 前加逗號 )
- I think you’re beautiful too!(too 前不加逗號)
- there’s sausage too!
too … to (太…不能)
too,通常就帶有「超過正常標準(過頭)」的否定意味。
too + 形容詞/副詞 + to + 動詞原形
- It’s too cold to swim.(天氣太冷,不能游泳。 $\rightarrow$ 負面/否定)
- He is too young to drive.(他年紀太小,不能開車。)
too … for (對某人來說,太…)
too + 形容詞/副詞 + for + 名詞
- This box is too heavy for me.(這個箱子對我來說太重了。 $\rightarrow$ 我搬不動,隱含否定)
- There is too much wind for surfing.(風太大了,不適合衝浪。 $\rightarrow$ 風量過頭了,對衝浪來說是負面的)
either 我也不
前面一定要有否定詞(如 don’t, isn’t, can’t, not 等),用在否定句,放句尾,前方可有逗號,也可沒逗號。
- I’m not going to sit down either!我也才不要坐下來!
- A 說:I’m not going to eat vegetables.(我才不要吃蔬菜。)
- B 回:I’m not going to eat them, either.(我也不要吃。)
- Me either!(我也不要!)
