also as well - what's the difference between these three words and how can you add them to your speech that's exactly what we're going to talk about in this video of course I'm Jennifer from Jeffers English comm and this channel is dedicated to helping you sound like a fluent confident natural English speaker now before we go any further make sure you subscribe and hit that Bell notification so you're notified every time I post a new lesson now let's dive in with this video also as well - how can you use these three words confidently in your vocabulary well first of all let's talk about what these three words mean all three are adverbs and all three have the same meaning they mean in addition so we use them when you're adding another point or when you're emphasizing and a point with additional information now these three words may confuse you because although they have the same meaning how they're used according to English sentence structure specifically where they are in a sentence their position within a sentence can change so that's what will mainly be talking about in this lesson so let's talk about when you can use all three interchangeably so it doesn't matter which one you use they have the exact same meaning that will happen when you use them at the end of a sentence now remember that the meaning is in addition we use it to add an additional point so because of that there's most likely going to be two sentences sentence 1 and then sentence - which adds a dish additional information to sentence one and then we add our adverb at the end of sentence - for example I could say Cara's going to the conference Ken's going and here at the end of the sentence I could use as well also or - anyone is fine they have no difference in meaning although they have no difference in meaning I would say that as well is most commonly used in spoken English and it sounds the most natural to me and following that - is also very commonly used in spoken English has a little bit more of informal casual feel but still very commonly used now I would say also is the least commonly used in spoken English however you can still use it it's correct I'm just saying you know how I hear them being used in terms of popularity let's take a look at another example where you can use all three at the end of the sentence and they have exactly the same meaning I could say I need to update the website and I need to finish the report and then you can use whichever a verb you like in terms of popularity as well - also let's talk about when you would only use two in this case it would be when you're having a conversation with someone one person says something and you want to agree with them by singing me too me too in this case it sounds the most natural to use - maybe maybe technically is grammatically correct to say me as well me also but it doesn't sound natural and it's not something I hear so in this case you should use to me too so let me give you an example of what I mean let's say that we went to a party last night and I call you and I say I had so much fun at the party and you want to agree to this and you can say me too me too another example I could say I had pasta for lunch now if you had pasta for lunch as well notice I can say as well because is that the end of the sentence if you had pasta for lunch as well then you could simply say me too I had pasta for lunch me too so in that scenario where you're responding to somebody then you would just use me - now let's talk about also also is the least commonly used in spoken English although it's commonly used in written English and the placement of also is different from as well in - in the sense that also can be used at the beginning of a sentence so remember we still need sentence 1 and sentence 2 but for sentence 2 we can start with also that isn't the case for as well and - this only applies to all so and you're going to find this more in written English although you can use this in spoken English as well and notice I just said as well at the end the sentence there now when we use it at the beginning of a sentence it's for the exact same reason we're emphasizing a point or we're adding additional information to a point I could say make sure you wear a sweater also bring a hat so notice here I'm connecting these two sentences now in sentence 2 I'm putting all so at the beginning now in spoken English I would commonly say make sure you wear a sweater and bring a hat as well so these two sentences have exactly the same meaning however their structure is different and when they would be used is different because the first one is more commonly used in written English and the second one more common in spoken English now you could commonly use also at the beginning of a sentence when you're giving an instruction so if you have two tasks that you want the person to do you could identify task one and then identify task 2 but at the beginning it has to you would say also so that would sound like can you update the website also can you edit the report now if we were going to take this sentence and change it so our adverbs at the end what would that sound like so try that try that in exercise take that at the adverb at the end and put it in the comments what does it sound like can you update the website and edit the report as well or you could use also or - all three would be correct all right so now you know how to use also as well and - at the end of sentences you know when you only use me - and you know how to connect two sentences using also at the beginning that's quite a lot for today so why don't we end the video here and that will give you time to practice and review what we've covered so of course now is your time to practice so I want you to leave an example in the comments put one example sentence with the adverb at the end of your sentence and I want you to get comfortable with also at the beginning of your sentence as well remember in both of these cases you're going to need two sentences or two parts of one sentence okay and I can't wait to read your comments if you found this video helpful please hit the like button share it with your friends and of course subscribe now before you go make sure you head on over to my website j4s English comm and download your free speaking guide in this guide I share six tips on how to speak English fluently and confidently and until next time happy studying all right look at you something is really fluent and natural make sure you do this practice exercises I gave you and don't forget to subscribe can't wait to see you next time bye [Music] you
