position of too

[david11]

A: I had a great conversation.

B: I too had a great conversation.

Is that the position of too is correct if I want to mean that the conversation is great to me as well?

There, or more commonly, at the end.

Then what if I want to say I had a good dinner, I had a good time and I had a great conversation too?

I mean that great conversation is one of thing I had in addition to the others. So, the position of too at the end would be appropriate in this case.

But in Original Post, I want to say that I am also the one who enjoyed the conversation in addition to you.

I want to say that I am also the one who enjoyed the conversation in addition to you.

"I, too, play tennis" refers to the subject. = My friend plays tennis and I play tennis, too/as well.

"The use of too, directly after the subject, is formal and the end position is generally preferred, especially in

informal speech."

NOTES:

1. In 2012, many people no longer use a comma in front of "too" if it comes at the end of the sentence.

2. If "too" comes immediately after the subject, I am pretty sure that most people would prefer to set off

(isolate) "too" with two commas, but no doubt there are people who would avoid commas there, too!

I am very interested in David's sentence. Would someone tell us what "too" refers to in that sentence?

Thank you.

It means "Not only did I have a good dinner and a good time, but I also enjoyed good conversation (in addition to the two other good things)".
