Where to Place It
Except… “Also” comes after a modal or “to be” verb, and before the infinitive.
TOO
“Too” is used in positive sentences, to show agreement. In most cases, the meaning is the same as
“also”. However, you may notice something different about its place in the sentence.
b. “Too” is used to modify adjectives. In a negative use, it means that something is a higher degree than
is desirable of the adjective. In a positive or less strong use, it means very. This is a use that “also”
doesn’t have.
Where to Place It
a. “Too” comes at the end of the sentence or phrase that it refers to.

We were there too.
b. When used to modify an adjective, “too” comes before the adjective it modifies.
