も: Also / Too
Use も to add another item sharing an established role.
- Basic は/が/を roles.
Status updates accumulate information: checked server; also checked database.
1. も adds a parallel item
In simple beginner patterns, も often replaces the comparable particle to mean also/too.
Natural: I'm an engineer. Tanaka is also an engineer.
Structure: I topic engineer; Tanaka also engineer.
Parallel identity.
Natural: I checked the server. I also checked the database.
Structure: server object checked; database also checked.
Parallel object.
2. も means the marked item is additional
Natural English may place also in a different position; do not expect a fixed word-for-word slot.
3. Add-one-more status update
Write five two-sentence pairs. Establish one person/object/action, then add a parallel item with も.

4. Inspect も in literal vs natural translation
This is a good dual-translation exercise.

Why here: Natural English repositions 'also'; literal mode can preserve Japanese role visibility.
How to use it for this lesson: Find two も sentences and identify what is being added.
Inspect も →Mastery checkpoint
Answer from memory. Treat every miss as a debugging signal: inspect the explanation, repair the rule, and retry.
