Use of "too" Sat Jun 17, 2006 13:35 pm  Use of "too"
 

Hello everbody

I am a bit confused Exclamation 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.
