Too/either and

so/neither

are used to express our agreement to what another person has

said.

Too is used when the verb is in the affirmative form. For example: A: I have a red Ferrari B: I have one, too Either is used when the verb is in the negative form. For example: A: I don't have a Ferrari B: I don't have one either

Too / Either

So is used to agree with the positive. For example: A: I have a red Ferrari B: So do I Neither is used to agree with the negative. For example: A: I don't have a Ferrari B: Neither do I

So / Neither

Too as well as either are used after the main sentence, to which one is agreeing, copying its structure. A: I have a red Ferrari 1 2

B: I have one, too Too is used agree on the positive 1 2 one replaces a red Ferrari, because it would be redundant to mention it twice in the same conversation.

A: I don't have a Ferrari 1 2

B: I don't have one either Too is used agree on the negative 1 2

Too / Either - FORM

So is used to agree, but in a shorter manner. A: I have a red Ferrari So is used to agree on the positive

B: So, do I The person who is replying Auxiliary according to the tense of the sentence, in this case Present Simple, and to the pronoun, in this case I.

A: She will buy a Ferrari

B: So will I I am agreeing. The sentence is in simple future, so will is the auxiliary

So - FORM

Neither is used to agree, but in a shorter manner. A: I didnt buy milk! So is used to agree on the positive

B: Neither did I The person who is replying Auxiliary according to the tense of the sentence, in this case Past Simple, and to the pronoun, in this case I.

A: Jane is not here

B: Neither is Mark I am agreeing. The sentence is in simple present, but the verb be does not need an auxiliary, thus is-am-are would take the place of the auxiliary according to the pronoun, in this case he (Mark)

Neither - FORM
