- Title: Mastering Short Agreement: So do I & Neither can I
Hint
Summary: Short Agreement (So / Neither + Auxiliary + Subject)Content:To agree with someone quickly, invert the auxiliary verb and the subject: * **Positive Statements (+)**: Use **So + Auxiliary + Subject**. * *"I love matcha lattes."* → *"**So do I!**"* * *"She is excited."* → *"**So am I.**"* * **Negative Statements (-)**: Use **Neither + Auxiliary + Subject**. * *"I don't like horror movies."* → *"**Neither do I!**"* * *"I can't swim."* → *"**Neither can I.**"* * **Avoid the "Me Too" Trap**: Never use *"Me too"* for negative statements. Use *"Neither do/can/have I!"* * **Auxiliary Harmony**: Always match the tense and verb form: * **Be verbs**: *am / is / are / was / were* * **Do verbs** (Simple tenses): *do / does / did* * **Perfect aspect**: *have / has / had* * **Modals**: *can / could / will / would / should*
