それも (soremo)

Meaning & usage

それも adds an emphatic afterthought to a finished statement, meaning and that at that or what is more. It comes after a comma or period and is followed by a phrase expressing time, frequency, amount, or circumstance, as in 今すぐ or 朝早く. It is neutral in style, and the added part often omits a verb because it depends on the first statement for its meaning.
