also, too, either 这三个词都有"也"的意思。
A. too 是普通用词,多用于口语,语气较随便。一般用在肯定句中,放在句末。例如:
I'm in Row 1, too. 我也在第一排。
B. also 是比较正式的用语,语气较庄重。它经常放在句中,位于行为动词之前,连系动词之后;如有助动词或情态动词,一般放在助动词或情态动词之后。例如:
Mrs Green can also sing the song in Chinese. 格林夫人也能用汉语唱这首歌。
注意:also和too一般用于肯定句,都不常用于否定句。
(错) I can't sing, too.
(错) I also can't sing.
(正) I can't sing, either.
C. either 表示"也"时,一般只用于否定句,且置于句末。例如:
I don't know him. Tom doesn't know him, either. 我不认识他,汤姆也不认识他。
注意:either 本身没有否定的意义。

(正)He didn't come. His brother didn't, either.
