Hi,

I would like to know the difference "1" and "2".

Here's the basic idea.

1. While you are at the store, get some milk, too.

This is in the form of an order.


2. While you are at the store, you might as well get some milk, too.

This is much gentler in tone. It means 'there is no reason why you should not get milk, although, if you don't
