1) He spoke French and English with an American accent.
2) He spoke French and English, with an American accent.
3) He spoke French and also English with an American accent.
4) He spoke French and also English, with an American accent.
In which cases he does not speak French with an American accent?
In which cases he might not speak French with an American accent?
Would a comma after 'and' change anything?
Gratefully,
Navi.

My instinctive interpretation of all four sentences was that he speaks both languages with an American accent. I am guessing the most likely context. Instead you could write : "He spoke English, with an American accent, and he also spoke French," Kind regards, Michael
