ALSO
Najpogosteje se also uporablja pri pisanju, manj pogost je v govoru. Zaseda lahko različne pozicije v stavku.
- Postavimo ga na začetek stavka, da poudarimo to, kar sledi ali da dodamo novo točko oziroma vpeljemo novo temo.
It’s very humid. Also, you can easily get sunburnt.
[po telefonu] OK, I’ll phone you next week and we can discuss it then. Also, we need to decide who will be going to Chicago.
- Uporabljamo ga tudi v ustaljeni poziciji za prislove, torej med osebkom in glavnim glagolom, za modalnim glagolom ali prvim pomožnim glagolom ter za glagolom “biti”, če je uporabljen kot glavni glagol. V tem položaju se pomen prislova also ponavadi nanaša na celoten stavek, ki se pojavi pred njim.
She works very hard but she also goes to the gym every week.
I’ve been working in the garden this week, and I’ve also been reading a lot.
- Na koncu stavka prislov also običajno povezuje dve frazi. Namesto njega raje uporabimo prislova too ali as well, še posebej v govorjenem jeziku.
She contacted him in the office but he didn’t answer the phone. His mobile phone was silent also.(ali His mobile phone was silent too. oziroma … was silent as well.)
AS WELL
- Ta prislov je dosti bolj običajen v govorjenem jeziku kot v pisnem in je bolj pogosto uporabljen kot pa also. Skoraj vedno ga bomo našli na koncu stavka.
The apples are delicious, but the pears are tasty as well.
POMNI!
Obstaja tudi fraza (predlog) AS WELL AS, ki v prevodu pomeni “kot tudi”, torej izraža dodajanje k nečemu.
She has invited Jill as well as Kate.
When they go to Austria, they like walking as well as skiing.
TOO
- Ta prislov ponavadi postavimo na konec stavka.
He’s having chicken. I’ll probably have chicken too.
She looks really tired and she must be really hungry too.
- Lahko se pojavi takoj za osebkom, če se navezuje neposredno na osebek. Načeloma se ne uporablja za modalnim ali pomožnim glagolom. Pri uporabi prislova too, lahko zapišemo tudi vejico.
I too thought she looked unwell.
We, too, have been very pleased to receive the prize on her behalf. NE We have too been very pleased …
- Too se ponavadi uporablja v ustaljenih izrazih, kot so izražanje želja ali pri uporabi edninskega predmetnega zaimka.
A: Enjoy the play.
B: Thanks. You enjoy your evening too. (boljše kot You enjoy your evening as well. ali You also enjoy your evening.)
A: I need to go to the gym.
B: Yeah, me too. (boljše kot Yeah, me also. ali Yeah, me as well.)
- Pri velelnih stavkih je načeloma bolje uporabljati as well in too kot prislov also.
[v trgovini] Give me a kilo of apples first and a bunch of grapes as well then please. (boljše kot … and a bunch of grapes also then please.)
Povezovanje nikalnih struktur
Če imamo opravka z nikalnimi stavki oziroma strukturami, bomo namesto ALSO, AS WELL in TOO uporabili EITHER.
A: Bill’s not here.
B: I don’t think Dave is either. NE: I don’t think Dave is also/as well/too.
