Meaning & usage
Putting も after two items lists them together as a pair. In an affirmative sentence like パンもごはんも食べます it means both bread and rice, while in a negative sentence like 肉も魚も食べません it means neither meat nor fish. Attach も directly to each noun, replacing は, が or を, and use verb dictionary form plus こと before も for actions, as in 読むことも書くこともできない. Omitting one も or adding extra words between the pair sounds unnatural.
