Use of "too" #1 (permalink) Sat Jun 17, 2006 12:35 pm   Use of "too"
 

Hello everbody

I am a bit confused :!: :?

Have you ever noticed that sometimes too comes at the end of a sentence following a comma and sometimes not.(Examples are following)? Is it optional?

1- A lot of time is needed , too.
2- He was killed too.

Why comma in the first and why not in the second?Please help me understand it thoroughly.

Ever yours

Tom

.
Some think it is required and others do not (especially in short statements). To be careful, use the comma in essays and tests.
