We start this post by reviewing the use of measure word 個，also 也，and two 兩。See the following sentence.

 

 

也 　(also) goes before verbs. For example:  　我也有　(I also have), 　我也是 　(I also am …).

個　 goes before the object being counted. For example: 　一個人(one person),　 ㄧ個房子　(three houses)

Remember that we use 　兩 　and not 　二　when specifying there are two of whatever we are counting.
