The particle も is repeated after two or more items of the same grammatical category to indicate that all of them are included in the statement. In affirmative sentences, it translates to 'both A and B' or 'A as well as B'. In negative sentences, it translates to 'neither A nor B'.

Affirmative Use

Used to list multiple nouns that are included in an affirmative statement.

I like both dogs and cats.

I ate both bread and fruit.

Negative Use

Used with a negative verb to indicate that none of the listed items apply.

I drink neither tea nor coffee.

Neither the teacher nor the student was there.

Note

When も is used, it replaces the particles は, が, and を. However, other particles like に, と, or で are usually kept and followed by も (e.g., にも, とも). When used with a negative verb, the entire group is negated.
