I also like fried bananas.

This is a complete sentence, but as you can probably see, many sentences with "also" in them are dependant on other text for understanding.

Rick, wouldn't that sentence be dependant because we don't know what else you like?

"I also like bananas" -

The word also can usually be substituted for the word too -

Bring your textbook to class today, but I would like you to bring your lab manual too. Also can be substituted here -

"I would like you to bring your lab manual also.

Just my thoughts.

I am unable to find a "rule" regarding use of also, so am not completely sure...but I think grammatically "I would like you to bring your lab manual also" is also a complete sentence, but like the first example, full understanding of what it means is dependant on other text.

Yes, you are right when you say the full meaning of the sentence is dependant.

Hey, we were both right on this. However, the rules vary, especially depending on which class you are taking and who the teacher is. I had one who only wanted the word too used in senctences, and my Comp II teacher despised the word "too" and wanted us to limit the word and put "also" in it's place.

RickJ agrees: I agree. English usage is not an exact science.

In the sentence of "I also like fried bananas" I think the meaning could change depending on context. This can either mean that you like bananas in addition to apples or, you like bananas the same as someone else.

Just thought I'd add that.

You may use also in a complete sentence in many ways; like many aspects of English grammar the correct way to use it depends on HOW you use it. If you put it at the very beginning of a sentence a comma always goes after it. For example: Also, I would like to ask about an estimate on installation. (In this case it is an introductory element of the sentence, that is, the sentence could be complete without it.)

Hope this helps.
