Asked on December 20, 2021 in Word choice.
Unspoken, they mean pretty much the same thing. When spoken, the emphasis would typically be different, and that can produce a difference in interpretation because it makes the “also” agree with either (you), beaver (first form) or surprised (second form). What
exactly does it mean by “Are You also surprised (David Morris)”?
Are you surprised?
“Are you surprised too? could mean what it does in the following: “Well
I’m surprised, and Paul is surprised, and I’m pretty sure Betty is surprised.” Are you ever surprised? What
is some of the science behind it?
