Lesson

也 (also / too)

1. Explain it simply

也 means 'also / too' and always comes AFTER the subject, BEFORE the verb.

It never goes at the end of the sentence like English 'too' does.

2. Show examples

我也是学生。

Wǒ yě shì xuésheng.

I am also a student.

Subject + 也 + verb

他也喜欢中文。

Tā yě xǐhuan Zhōngwén.

He also likes Chinese.

也 before the verb 喜欢

你们也去吗?

Nǐmen yě qù ma?

Are you all going too?

Works in questions the same way

3. Share a tip

Never put 也 at the end of a sentence - unlike English 'too', it always sits before the verb.
