When I want to talk to someone and the sentence I am using has "too" or "also" or "as well" in it, I get confused and feel like I am using the wrong structure.
For example:
Friend: It's raining here
Me: I wish it was raining here too ( or I wish it was also raining here OR I wish it was raining here as well)
or
Friend: I read books
Me: I read books too (I also read books OR I read books as well)
I would appreciate it if you could tell me the correct structure or suggest an alternative for this
'Also' is more common in writing. Said that, in speaking, 'too' and 'as well' are common. So, 'also' in this way is out!
Between 'too' and 'as well', I think 'too' is used more in response to some wishes or opinions. Say -
I like french fries ~ Yes, me
as welltoo!
Love you! ~ Love you too!
So, to answer this, if it's in response and agreement, 'too' sounds more natural to me.
I read books ~ Yeah, me too!
And, for 'wish', it's 'as well'
I wish it was raining here as well.
However, you may find 'too' and 'as well' both in such context but when there's a pronoun, and it is a short answer of agreement, 'too' sounds better.
