用法說明

also 的位置與 also 修飾的對象

  • also 通常放在主要動詞之前,或放在 be 動詞、助動詞之後。
  • 當句子中有助動詞(如 can, will, have)時,also 放在第一個助動詞之後。
  • 在簡短回答或簡化句中,also 可以放在句尾,但這在正式寫作中較少見。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Also"?Which "Also" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I also like coffee.

I like coffee also.

在英文中,'also' 通常不放在主要動詞之前,除非是助動詞。在簡單動詞(如 like)的句子中,'also' 通常放在動詞之後、受詞之前,或句尾。

×He is also like swimming.

He also likes swimming.

當句子中有 'be' 動詞(am, is, are, was, were)時,'also' 應放在 'be' 動詞之後。當句子沒有 'be' 動詞,而是有一般動詞(如 like)時,'also' 應放在主詞之後、動詞之前。

×I am tired, also.

I am tired, too. / I am also tired.

'also' 通常不用於句尾來表示「也」。在句尾表示「也」時,應使用 'too' 或 'as well'。'also' 通常用於句中(主詞後,動詞前)。

×I also don't like spinach.

I don't like spinach either.

在否定句中表示「也」時,通常不使用 'also',而應使用 'either',並放在句尾。

×Also, I have a question.

I also have a question.

雖然 'also' 有時可以放在句首來連接句子或段落(較正式或書面),但在日常口語或簡單陳述中,將 'also' 放在句首聽起來可能不自然或過於正式。在大多數情況下,將 'also' 放在主詞之後更為自然。

×He can also speaks Japanese.

He can also speak Japanese.

當句子中有情態動詞(如 can, will, should, must)時,'also' 應放在情態動詞之後,而主要動詞必須使用原形。
