Also and too

Hi Teachers,

#1 I feel his love, but I also feel his hate.

#2 I feel his love, but I feel too his hate.

Can #2 be used instead of #1? Does it have the same meaning (that I feel his love and hate both)?


Thanks so much.

#2 I feel his love but I feel, too, his hate. I'd punctuate this as shown. Both are OK and the meaning is the same,, but to me #2 is better and more elegant English.

I agree with Clive; however, it's worth pointing out that most native speakers would use #1 as it's an easier construction. I guess it depends on the formality required!
