Hello dear teammate 👋
What would you say to someone who says, “I like to start my day early” ?
- “Me too” ?
- “I like it too” ?
And if they say, “I don’t like to start my day early” ?
- “I don’t like it either” ?
Well, that’s correct. But there is another way to express that you are in the same situation that is very common between natives. Let’s have a look:
- “I like to start my day early”
- So do I
That’s more like it! 💪💯
We can’t literally translate “so do I” into Spanish, so we have to understand what is the structure of this answer:
[So] + [Auxiliary verb] + [Subject]
Here are some examples:
A: "She can speak French fluently."
B: "So can I."
A: "I attended the project meeting this morning."
B: "So did I."
A: "Their office is very modern"
B: "So is ours."
A: "They have made significant progress on the project."
B: "So have we."
A: "I will attend the conference next week."
B: "So will I."
A: “I am very happy with the results”
B: “So am I”
Ok, now that we’ve got the hang of it, let’s make it a bit more challenging 🤯🔥
How do we answer a negative sentence?
We will use “neither” instead of “so”
A: "I haven't finished the report yet."
B: "Neither have I."
A: "I don't like coffee."
B: "Neither do I."
A: "She won't attend the meeting."
B: "Neither will I."
A: “I am not happy with the results”
B: “Neither am I”
Hope it helps!
Have a lovely weekend 🥰
