"Too", "also", and "as well" can be used interchangeably.

Thank you. I wrote a text and a native person told me that I should have used 'as well', then I figure that it probably has a difference
- English (US)
There may be a difference in some obscure circumstance, but I cannot think of any example where "as well" would be superior to "too" or "also". The only time I can think of a difference is if you use the idiom "as well as" ; in this instance it has a different meaning. You could correctly say: "The journal gave credit to me as well as Dr. Schuler." But you would never say: "The journal gave credit to me too as Dr. Schuler." You would also never say: "The journal gave credit to me also as Dr. Schuler." You could , however, correctly say: 1) The journal gave credit to me too or 2) The journal gave credit to me also, or 3) The journal gave credit to me as well. All three are equally correct.
