[Glizdka]

Are the sentences above correct?

Is it even possible to use too in a negative sentence?

Here's one example:

We don't use too in negative sentences.

That's cheating! :-D

I am sure jutfrank doesn't think it's cheating. I, too, don't think it is.

 

[Glizdka]

I am sure jutfrank doesn't think it's cheating. I, too, don't think it is.

It it the word order alone that allows you to use too here?

Would "I don't think it is, too" work, or would you have to use either instead?

Here's another (you can call this cheating, too, if you wish):

Herb Omlet doesn't like too much sugar in his tea.

That isn't too far from the truth.

 

[Glizdka]

I should've pointed out I meant too meaning "also"...

 

[5jj]

Indeed you should.

Yes.

Would "I don't think it is, too" work, or would you have to use either instead?

Not for me. Yes.
