too

More than necessary

The adverb too has two core ideas: one use signifies excess or extremes: this room is too cold.

The other idea is conjunctive.

Reflecting this, too is almost always used near a conjunction or in a sentence that has a parallel in a previous sentence or clause: We saw the Palmers, and the Tysons were there, too.

In this sense, too is a close synonym of also.
