Also is more formal than as well and too, and it usually comes before the main verb or after be. * also 比 as well 和 too 正式,通常置于主要动词之前或 be 之后:◆I went to New York last year, and I also spent some time in Washington.我去年去了纽约,还在华盛顿待了些时间。In BrE it is not usually used at the end of a sentence. Too is much more common in spoken and informal English. It is usually used at the end of a sentence.在英式英语中,also 通常不置于句末。too 则多用于非正式的口语,且通常置于句末:◆'I'm going home now.' 'I'll come too.'“现在我要回家了。” “我也一起走。”In BrEas well is used like too, but in NAmE it sounds formal or old-fashioned.在英式英语中,as well 的用法同 too,但在美式英语中,as well 显得正式或过时。
