James

Hi everyone, James here.

We’re going to take a look at some quick and easy ways to agree with other people's opinions.

If someone says something positive that you agree with, you can say so do I or so am I.

I love sushi!
So do I!

I'm really tired today.
So am I!

You can also say me too!

However, when somebody says something negative with the word not for example, we use the word neither or neither. Neither do I, or Neither am I.

I don’t go to the cinema very often.
Neither do I.

I’m not very well at the moment.
Neither am I.

We can also just say me neither!

So, to agree with something positive, you use the word so, but to agree with something negative, we use neither or neither.

Thanks for joining us, everybody.
