If someone says something positive that you

00:08
agree with, you can say 'so do I' or 'so am I'.

11

00:27
with the word 'not' for example, we use the
12

00:30
word 'neither' or 'neither'.
13
30260

00:33
'Neither do I', or 'neither am I'.
14

'I don’t go to the cinema very often.'

'Neither do I.'
16

'I’m not very well at the moment.'
17

So, to agree with something positive, you
20
46790
3030
00:49
use the word 'so', but to agree with something
21
49820
3690
00:53
negative, we use 'neither' or 'neither'.
