Put も after the person or thing you are adding. In these patterns, it replaces は or を: 私わたし は 学生がくせい です → 私わたし も 学生がくせい です. This means “I’m a student too.” Do not stack は and も together as 私わたし は も.

request

Repeat も after both names to include both people: けんさん も マリア も 学生がくせい です means “Both Ken and Maria are students.” Unlike English “too,” も stays next to the person or thing it includes.

Examples

  • I’m a student too.

  • An onigiri too, please.

  • Both Maria and Yuki are doctors.
