What Do “Too” and “Either” Mean?

Too and either can both mean something like also.

However, they are used differently.

Use too when the sentence is positive.

Examples:

I like tea too.
She is coming too.
We enjoyed the lesson too.
I can help too.

Use either when the sentence is negative.

Examples:

I don’t like tea either.
She isn’t coming either.
We didn’t enjoy the lesson either.
I can’t help either.

Use “Too” with Positive Sentences

Use too when you want to add a positive idea.

Examples:

I’m tired too.
I like English too.
She studies French too.
We are going to the party too.
He can speak Spanish too.

In most everyday sentences, too usually comes at the end.

Example:

I want to come too.

You can also use also, but the position is different.

Examples:

I want to come too.
I also want to come.

Both are correct.

Use “Either” with Negative Sentences

Use either after a negative verb.

Examples:

I’m not tired either.
I don’t like coffee either.
She can’t come either.
He hasn’t finished either.
They didn’t understand either.

Common negative words include:

not
don’t
doesn’t
didn’t
can’t
won’t
haven’t
hasn’t
never

Examples:

Positive:

I like pizza too.

Negative:

I don’t like pizza either.

Too vs Either: Simple Table

Sentence Type	Word	Example
Positive addition	too	I’m tired too.
Negative addition	either	I’m not tired either.
Positive ability	too	I can come too.
Negative ability	either	I can’t come either.
Positive opinion	too	I like it too.
Negative opinion	either	I don’t like it either.

“Too” Has Another Meaning

Be careful. Too does not always mean also.

Too + adjective can mean more than wanted or more than necessary.

Examples:

This bag is too heavy.
The coffee is too hot.
The test is too difficult.
This phone is too expensive.
He is too young to drive.

Compare:

I like coffee too.
Meaning: I also like coffee.

The coffee is too hot.
Meaning: The coffee is hotter than I want.

“Me Too” and “Me Neither”

In conversation, we often use short agreement phrases.

Use me too for positive agreement.

Example:

A: I love chocolate.
B: Me too.

Meaning:

I love chocolate too.

Use me neither for negative agreement.

Example:

A: I don’t like horror films.
B: Me neither.

Meaning:

I don’t like horror films either.

What About “Me Either”?

You may hear me either in some informal contexts, especially in American English. However, me neither is safer for learners, especially in exams, formal settings, and international English.

More Natural Agreement Phrases

You can also use so and neither with auxiliary verbs.

Positive agreement:

A: I like coffee.
B: So do I.

A: She can swim.
B: So can I.

Negative agreement:

A: I don’t like coffee.
B: Neither do I.

A: She can’t swim.
B: Neither can I.

These are a little more advanced, but they are very useful.

Professional English

Pro Tips for Faster Learning

Tip 1: Look for Negative Words

If the sentence has a negative word, use either.

Examples:

not
don’t
doesn’t
didn’t
can’t
won’t

Example:

I don’t understand either.

Tip 2: Use “Too” for Positive Agreement

If the sentence is positive, use too.

Examples:

I like it too.
She wants to come too.
We are ready too.

Tip 3: Remember That “Too Expensive” Is Different

Too expensive does not mean also expensive.

It means:

more expensive than wanted

Examples:

This dress is too expensive.
This room is too small.
The music is too loud.

Tip 4: Practise with Mini Dialogues

Mini dialogues help you remember natural usage.

Example:

A: I’m hungry.
B: I’m hungry too.

A: I’m not hungry.
B: I’m not hungry either.

A: I love tea.
B: Me too.

A: I don’t like tea.
