confucius Posted May 11, 2005 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 at 03:36 PM # 2 is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shushi Posted May 11, 2005 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 at 04:52 PM The reason why the second one is correct is that the 也 functions as an adverb, specifically as the kind of adverb that must come directly before the verb. In #1, 也 preceeds a noun, and in #3 it preceeds the subject 我. Also, 也 is always used as part of a separate clause, and #1 only has a single clause.
