About also.
I found this sentence in a vocabulary building app.
my mom also wants a watch.
The Japanese translation of that sentence means following:
Someone wons a watch, and my mom wants the watch too.
Is that right?
I think, my mom wants something else, maybe a purse, and wants a watch too is appropriate.
Am I wrong in thinking that way?
Could you tell me, please?
