So and Neither in English
So and neither are used to agree with statements.
In this lesson, you’ll understand how to use so and neither and practise using them.
How and when to use so and neither.
So – Positive Agreement
- To agree with a positive statement. For example, I can swim.
- Use – so do I, so am I, so can I.
Neither – Negative Agreement
- To agree with a negative sentence. For example, I can’t go to the cinema today.
- Use – neither do I, neither am I, neither can I.
Make sure the auxiliary verb matches in each statement. For example;
- I can’t cook.
- Neither can I.
If there is no auxiliary verb, use ‘do/did’.
- She finished her homework early.
- So did I.
