A: I'm so excited. This is my first time travelling overseas. I've never left my country before.
B: Neither have I. I'm excited as well!
Too & Either
We can use these words to show that something is the same as another thing.
As well and also have the same meaning as too. These words are only used with positive verbs. If the verb is negative, use either:
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
 I had a terrible time last night. I did too.  |
I didn't have a good time last night. I didn't either. |
 He loves pizza. I do as well.  |
He doesn't like pasta. I don't either. |
 I should study more often. I should also.  |
I shouldn't go to bed late tonight. I shouldn't either. |
So & Neither
Another way to agree with people is to use so or neither:
| So Neither |
am / is / are was / were do / does / did have / has can / will / should |
... |
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
 I went to the gym last night. So did I.  |
I didn't go to the gym last night. Neither did I. |
 He can speak French well. So can Frank.  |
He can't speak Japanese. Neither can Frank. |
 Italy has a great soccer team. So does Germany.  |
Canada doesn't have a good soccer team. Neither does New Zealand. |
Disagreeing
If you want to disagree, meaning that you or something is not the same, again, think about if the situation is positive or negative. To say that you disagree with a positive sentence, use a negative auxiliary verb. For a negative sentence, use a positive auxiliary verb:
- "Canada doesn't have a president like the USA."
- "Mexico does."
- "I'm going to Michelle's party tonight."
- "I'm not."
- "I don't have any brothers or sisters."
- "I do."
