Explanation

도 attaches to nouns/phrases: 저도요, 물도 주세요.

또 is an adverb meaning again / moreover: 또 왔어요, 또 비가 와요.

Both can feel like “also,” but grammar slots differ.

Mistake: 저 또요 as a particle clone of 저도요.

Level: beginner. Read both sides of the contrast, say the examples out loud, then write one correct and one incorrect sentence and fix it.

Cross-link: open the related grammar or tools page the same day so the fix sticks in your study graph.

Examples

커피도 있어요?

Do you have coffee too?

또 만나요.

See you again.

Common mistakes

  • Translating the English pair word-for-word without checking which Korean form carries the real distinction.
  • Treating the two forms as free synonyms after memorizing only one example.
