A. Common Errors :

1. Sam doesn't like chocolate.
Mary doesn't like chocolate too.
2. Peter disagrees with Maggie.
Wendy disagrees with Maggie either.
Sam doesn't like chocolate.
Mary doesn't like chocolate either.
Peter disagrees with Maggie.
Wendy disagrees with Maggie too.
"too"及"either"都譯作"同樣",但在英文文法中,它們的用法有所不同。
   
 
"too"用於正面的句子,即沒有"not"的句子,例如:
 

(例一)

He swims in the morning.
She swims in the morning too.
   
"either"用於反面的句子,即有"not"的句子,例如:
 

(例一)

Ken doesn't (does not) read books.
Anna doesn't (does not) read books either.
   
有時會有一些例外的情況:
例如句子中出現一些負面的副詞,如"never(從不)"、"seldom(很少)"、"hardly(甚少)"等,這些情況,我們會使用"either",例如:
 

(例一)

I never eat ice cream.
My brother never eats ice cream either.
  (例二) She seldom plays badminton.
He seldom plays badminton either.
     
又例如句子中會出現一些本身有負義的動詞,即有"不"意思的字,如 "disagree (不贊成)"、"dislike(不喜歡)"等,這些情況,我們都會照樣使用"too",例如:
  (例一) Sally disagreed with me.
Jacky disagreed with me too.
Sally did not agree with me.
Jacky did not agree  with me either.
兩組句子的意思都是"不贊成",分別就在於"disagree"及"not agree"; "disagree"要用"too","not agree"要用"either"。
