II. Post-Reading
☆ also, either, plus, too
also 意思是也，是比too較為正式的用語，通常用于肯定句中，一般靠近動詞。
例如 He also asked to go．他也要求去。
too 意思也是也，是最普通的用語，常與also通用，但不如also正式，在口語中它用得更多。too通常放于句末，但有時為了不致引起含糊不清的感覺，把它緊放在所修飾的詞之后。它也通常用于肯定句中。例如：
I, too, have been to Paris．我也去過巴黎。（這里明確表示人家去過巴黎，我也去過。而不是除了去過某地以外，還去過巴黎。）
either 意思也是也。它用于否定句中，而且要放在句末。
例如： If you do not go，I shall not either．倘若你不去，我也不去。
plus prep. 加上
This work requires intelligence plus experience.
