well, as you can see in the title of this thread, I'm going to ask you about the difference about this "additional" conjunctions.
I suppose (better: feel) that as well and too can be exchangeable, whilst "also" can be added only in statements built of two periods having the same subject (I play Tennis and I also play Backgammon). :shock:
Is it correct?
thank you for you answer
Luigi

"I play Tennis and I also play Backgammon."
"I play Tennis and I play Backgammon too."
"I play Tennis and I play Backgammon as well."
These are all possible.

I play tennis and I also play backgammon.
I play tennis as well as backgammon.
I play tennis, and I play backgammon too.

Note that we don't use a capital letter for most sports. We do, however, start every new sentence with a capital letter.

Thank you for your explanation, teachers.Your job is really outstanding.
Ehm, yeah, I know that in English gramar every new statement must start with capital letter as well as in Italian one, but some mistake is due to tiredness.
Thank you again.
