We, too, have trouble with grammar from time to time—especially when it comes to comma placement and that tricky “too” (or is it “to”?). When you want to say "I, too" in a sentence, do you need a comma or not? Is it all up to your “artistic license”? Comma down: this grammar stuff is easier than it may seem, and we’ve got all the info on how to incorporate “too” into your sentences, whether it appears in the middle of a sentence or the end.
Things You Should Know
- "I, too," is more traditionally used, but "I too" is also grammatically correct.
- Use either no commas at all ("I too") or 2 commas ("I, too,"). It’s not correct to use just one comma.
- Don’t use a comma before “too” at the end of a sentence.
- Use “too” in place of “also,” “as well,” or “in addition.” Use “to” in reference to movement in a certain direction.
