も — Also / Too
も means 'also/too' and replaces は, が, or を (it does NOT stack with them).
| Without も | With も |
|---|---|
| 田中さんは学生です。 | 山田さんも学生です。(Yamada is ALSO a student.) |
| コーヒーを飲みます。 | お茶も飲みます。(I drink tea TOO.) |
Important: も replaces は/が/を but adds to に/で/と: 東京にも行きます。(I also go TO Tokyo.)
Stacking も with は (私はも× → 私も○); Forgetting that も replaces を as well
私も日本語を勉強しています。
I am also studying Japanese.
私(I) + も(also — replaces は) + 日本語を勉強しています(am studying Japanese)
