Too -
USE
"Too" is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought. It has the same meaning as "also," but its placement within the sentence is different.
Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam speaks French too.
I love chocolate. I love pizza too.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can come with us too.
PLACEMENT
"Too" usually comes at the end of a clause.
Examples:
I am Canadian too.
I can speak French too.
I am studying economics too.
If he wants to go too, he should meet us at 8:00.
IMPORTANT
Although "too" is usually placed at the end of a clause, it can sometimes be used with commas after the subject of the sentence. This is usually only done in formal speech.
Examples:
Mr. Jones wanted the contract. Ms. Jackson, too, thought it was necessary.
Donna is working on a solution to the problem. I, too, am trying to find a way to resolve the conflict.
