Are These Okay? : 他明天要去Hamilton Orchards,我也明天也要去Hamilton Orchards。
Okay, this is my first time writing anything in Mandarin Chinese, so please cut me some slack if I make any mistakes. Anyhow, can you tell me if I wrote these correctly in Simplified Chinese? I am trying to practice the sentence pattern "Someone does something. I also do the same thing." using 也 which several native speakers gave me in an earlier question of mine. I have placed optional words in the English translations in parentheses. I have placed an asterisk (the star character which looks like *) before any explanations of English words. :)
1. 他明天去Hadley,我也明天我也去[Hadley/那辺]。 [My preference, since the emphasis is on the time]
He is going to Hadley tomorrow. I am also going to Hadley tomorrow.
