also / as well / too

Question

Sometimes, at the end of a sentence I have to use point that something happen with the subject. For example, "I will go there also" or something like that. So, I've never seen any rules that tells me when I should use "also" and when something else like "as well", "too". Can anybody help with this?

Hi Sheen

All three can be at the end of a clause:

I will go there too. / I will go there, too.
I will go there as well.
I will go there also.

Also is more often placed in the same position as the adverbs of frequency (often, always, never, ever, seldom etc.):

I will also go there.

Too can follow the word it refers to, but this is not very common:

I, too, will go there.

Either is usually used in negative clauses:

I will not go there either.

If it's a short answer to a short/clear statement, you can say : "So will I", "Neither will I", "I won't" (withe the stress on "I" in the latter answer)

also / as well / too
