The particle "mo"
More and more particles... this is the other one I am learning in my current chapter of Genki...
I know that "mo" is used like "too" is in English..
Watashi wa nihongo no gakusee desu. - I am a Japanese language student.
Anata mo nihongo no gakusee desu. - You, too, are a Japanese language student.
I know that "mo" will replace wa, ga, and o.
It is used in conjunction with ni.
Kyoto ni ikimasu. - I will go to Kyoto.
Tokyo ni mo ikimasu - I will to go Tokyo, too.
OK - now that you know what I know... here's my question - How does mo work with the particle de?
Kouen de shashin o torimashita - I took pictures at the park.
Otera mo shashin o torimashita - I also took pictures at the temple.
Do i replace de with mo as in my example, or like ni, are they used together? Using them together creates demo - "but", which I would think would be confusing. This is why I am guessing that it is replaced but I could use someone too clarify. Thanks!

RE: The particle "mo"
You would use mo in combination with de, since Otera mo shashin o torimashita would give the sense of "I also took pictures of the temple."
So, the sentence would be:
Otera de mo shashin o torimashita.
So, the sentence would be:
Otera de mo shashin o torimashita.

RE: The particle "mo"
I see... I would think that using the particle "o" after shashin would show that I was taking pictures at the temple. I would think to say that I was taking pictures of the temple would be -
Watashi wa otera no shashin o torimasita.
Thank you for clarifying though!
