✕Common Mistakes
Aussi les prix changent.
Placing 'aussi' before the subject sounds unnatural in a simple statement; it is better after the verb.
Les prix changent aussi
Learners sometimes forget the final period in writing, which can change the tone in formal French.
Les prix changent aussi bien.
‘Aussi bien’ means ‘just as well’, not ‘also’; use only ‘aussi’ for ‘also’.
↔Alternatives

The rates also vary.
Les prix évoluent aussi.
Prices also evolve.
Les prix sont aussi susceptibles de changer.
Prices are also likely to change.
Cultural Tip
In French, the adverb 'aussi' normally follows the verb it modifies, unlike English where it can appear at the beginning of a sentence. Also, remember that 'prix' keeps the same spelling for singular and plural; you rely on the article 'les' to signal the plural. In formal contexts, you might hear 'les tarifs' instead of 'les prix' for a more business‑like tone.
