<sub class="descriptionSection">18-09-2024 06:02:pm // #も #Particle // [[Particle Summary]]</sub> ____ The も Particle, although very similar in use to the [[は - The Topic Particle |は Particle]], is the inclusive topic particle. This particle essentially means "also". Basically it introduces another topic into the sentence. ## Situations in which to use this Particle Keep in mind that this particle can both mean "also" and "but" depending on the context of the sentence. ```text ボブ:アリスは学生? Bob: Is Alice (you) student? アリス:うん、トムも学生。 Alice: Yeah, and Tom is also student. ``` > [!NOTE] Inclusion of this particle > The inclusion of the も particle must be consistent with the answer of the sentence. It wouldn't make sense to say, "I am a student, and Tom is also **not** a student". Refer to the next example to see how you would do that. This example shows how you would say that *you* are a student, but *Tom* isn't. ```text ボブ:アリスは学生? Bob: Is Alice (you) student? アリス:うん、でもトムはも学生じゃねい。 Alice: Yeah, but Tom is not student ``` If you want to have both negative, you can use the particle like this: ```text ボブ:アリスは学生? Bob: Is Alice (you) student? アリス:ううん、トムも学生じゃねい。 Alice: No, and Tom is also not student. ``` All in all, this is a pretty easy particle compared to most other in the language. Just make sure that you keep the answer consistent with the rest of the sentence and you should be fine
