noun も
Grammar Pattern
also; too; as well
noun も
also; too; as well
Explanation
This structure is used to indicate that a noun shares the same property or description as another noun previously mentioned.
The particle も marks the item that is being added as an additional instance.
Unlike English, where “too” can apply to the entire sentence, Japanese requires も to attach directly to the noun that is being included.
The meaning is determined by what も replaces in the sentence, not by sentence position.
Formation
Noun + も + predicate
Usage Notes
The particle も replaces は or が and cannot be used together with them.
も must be placed immediately after the noun that shares the same property as another previously mentioned noun.
Placing も elsewhere in the sentence is not grammatical.
The shared property is inferred from context and is not restated.
