Noun も〜

When to use

The plain particle "also/too". (Near-duplicate of n4-118 - same particle, taught at both N4 and N5.)

Explanation

The も grammar point is used after a noun to indicate that the action or state is the same for multiple items or people. It means 'also', 'as well', or 'too' in English. も often replaces は or が in the sentence to show that the same statement applies to this additional noun.
