i don't know positional value of also.could you pls explain it.
mother cooks food and she keeps the home neat and clean also.
or
mother cooks food and she also keeps the home neat and clean.
where should i use also?
[1] They are also coming. (after BE)
[2] They also want to come. (before other verbs)
[3] Also, they are coming. (In this position, 'also' is synonymous with 'in addition to what I just said')
[4] They are coming, also. (In this position, 'also' functions as an afterthought)
Let's get to your example sentence.
[5] Mother cooks food and she also keeps the home neat and clean. (OK)
[6] Mother cooks food and she keeps the home neat and clean, also. (OK)
