About this pattern
Explanation
また is a versatile adverb/conjunction used to add information, express repetition, or introduce a new but related point. It can mean 'also/too' when linking items, 'again' when referring to repetition, or 'in addition' to introduce another idea or action. Typical contexts include listing multiple items, continuing a narrative with an additional clause, or urging someone to do something again. It’s common in conversation and writing to precede or follow another clause with また to show that something else is true or occurs in addition to what’s stated already.
