註：too 表示「也」，在肯定句中與 also 同義且更口語。too 一般放在句尾，或作為插入語放在句中；also 通常靠近動詞，不放在句尾。例如：
He likes chocolate; I also like it.
He likes chocolate; I like it, too.

表示「也不」，不可以在否定語的後面用 too，應用 either 或用 nor 表示否定。但口語裡有時為了強調也把 also 放在否定語的前面。例如：
He doesn’t like Gone With the Wind; I don’t like it, either.
He doesn’t like Gone With the Wind; I also don’t like it.
He doesn’t know her phone number; nor do I.
2. 他不難過，我也不難過。
ˇ He was not upset. Neither/Nor was I.
χ He was not upset. So was I.
註：承接前句述詞的動作，因而構成新的句子時，新句子的詞序是動詞在前，主詞在後。但應注意：肯定時用副詞 so，否定時用 neither 或 nor。例如：
He likes to play the guitar, and so do I.
He likes playing the piano, and so do I.
He doesn’t like playing tennis; neither/nor do we.
He wouldn’t go to church; neither/nor would you.
He can’t whistle; neither/nor can you.
3. 連小學生都不會相信這樣的謊言。
ˇ Not even schoolchildren will believe such a lie.
ˇ Even schoolchildren will not believe such a lie.
χ Even no schoolchildren will believe such a lie.
註：「連……也不……」用 not even... 或 even... not...，而不可用 even no...。

4. 他還沒有來。
ˇ He has not arrived yet.
χ He has still not arrived.
註：在一般否定句中表示「還」、「尚」、「至今還」應用 yet，不用 still，比較：
He is still here.（現尚在此）
He is not here yet.（尚未來此）
在肯定句中二者可以通用。例如：There is yet ( ＝ still) time.
5. 他什麼時候會到？他剛到。
ˇ When will he be here? He has just arrived.
ˇ When will he be here? He arrived just now.
χ When will he be here? He just arrived.
註：just 作「剛才」、「方才」解，一般與完成時態連用。just now 作「片刻之前」（= not long ago）解，與過去一般時態連用；作 at this moment 解，則與現在一般時態連用。例如：He is rather busy just now.。
