ALSO
Also is an adverb which we use before the main verb or after a helping verb (auxiliary & modal verb).
Moreover, also is commonly used at the beginning of a sentence, in addition to the previous sentence.
For example
- It’s chilling outside. Also, you can see the snowfall.
————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————–
TOO
Too is an adverb that is used after a person, place, or thing. It also shows a connection between the two statements.
We can also rephrase the above example in a sentence with too
- It’s chilling outside and you can see the snowfall too.
- Too is always used at the end of the sentence. Too at the end of any sentence emphasizes your opinion.
- For example, if a person says ‘this is my car, you’d reply with “of course it is, and quite right too.”
————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————–
AS WELL
As well is an adverb that defines the additional word(s) in any sentence. As well is always used at the end of a statement. It also means ‘in addition’.
Now let’s try the same example as well
- It’s chilling outside, you can see the snow as well.
Now you can see that too and as well are used at the end of a sentence.
————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————– ————–
One thing that’s common in all three words is that they all are adverbs.
They all have the same meaning which is “in addition” to your previous statement.
