も shows that something is like something else. It is like saying 'also' or 'too' in English. It adds an item to a group you are talking about.
This is different from 'ga' or 'wa'. 'Ga' and 'wa' show who does an action or what the sentence is about. 'Mo' means 'also'. It takes the place of 'ga' or 'wa'. If you use other small words like 'ni' or 'de', 'mo' comes after them. It does not replace them.
Watch out: When you use 'も' with words like 'what' or 'who', you must use a negative verb. For example, '誰もいません' means 'Nobody is here'. If you say '誰もいます', it is wrong. To say 'Someone is here', you should use '誰かいます'.
