USE

"Also" is used in positive sentences to add an agreeing thought.

Examples:
Jane speaks French. Sam also speaks French.
I love chocolate. I also love pizza.
Frank can come with us. Nancy can also come with us.

PLACEMENT

"Also" comes after "to be."

Examples:
I am also Canadian.
I was also there.

With verbs other than "to be," "also" comes before single verb forms.

Examples:
I also sing.
He also helped us.

In verb tenses with many parts, "also" comes after the first part and before the second.

Examples:
I have also been to Hong Kong.
I am also studying economics.

Similarly, since modal verbs are usually followed by a second verb, "also" comes after modal verbs.

Examples:
I can also speak French.
I should also be there.
