Can you use also between a verb and noun?

You can't use "also" directly between a verb and a noun. "Also" is an adverb, and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They don't directly connect to nouns.

Here's why:

* Adverbs describe actions: "Also" tells us that something is *in addition to* something else. It modifies the verb by providing extra information about the action being performed.

* Nouns are things: Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. They don't usually need an adverb to explain how they exist.

Examples:

* Incorrect: "He walked also the dog."

* Correct: "He walked the dog also." (The adverb "also" modifies the verb "walked.")

* Correct: "He also walked the dog." (The adverb "also" modifies the verb "walked.")
