The particle も is usually explained as similar to _also_. However, examples
also always leans towards _too_ , and always in the context of the sentence's
subject (and always referring to the same subject).

_Me too_

_I like cats too_

However, I've always wondered if it was valid to use it almost like an
interjection, to change the topic:

> A: 今日の授業を欠席しました I didn't attend today's class
>
> A: 月曜日の宿題 _も_ 忘れました I've _also_ forgotten last monday's homework

So when the subject is different, can you still use this particle?

question
particle-も
Using も when subject is different
That's interesting. I've sort of thought the same thing, and have used it in
that way, but am not positive that it's correct. I think if you show that the
_other thing_ you're attaching も to is the verb then it would be alright. As
in, I _did this_ and _also did_ this. "I didn't attend class. And also (an
other thing I did was) forgot the homework".

So in Japanese maybe something like

```

    今日の授業を欠席しました。
    月曜日の宿題を忘れたこともしました。
    
```

You just have to nominalize the verb then use も as normal. I think you noticed
that what sounds odd about 宿題も忘れた is that it sounds like you're saying you
forgot your homework and also forgot something else.

Yes, you can use も that way.

> 今日は学校に遅刻しました。宿題 **も** 忘れました。
