4KA16 (MEETING 5-8)
(30/4/2019)
Affirmative Agreement
When indicating that one person pr thing does something and then adding that another does the same. Use the word so or too. To avoid needless repetition of words from the affirmative statement, use the conjunction and followed by a simple statement using so or too. The order of this statement will depend on whether so or too is used.
When a form of the verb be is used in the main clause, the same tense of the verb be is used in the simple statement that follows.
affirmative statement (be) + and + subject + verb (be) + too
so + verb (be) + subject
e.g. I am happy. You are happy
– I am happy and you are too
– I am happy and so are you
When a compound verb (auxiliary + verb), for example, will go, should do, has done, have written, must examine, etc. occurs in the main clause, the auxiliary of the main verb is used in the simple statement, and the subject and verb must agree.
Affirmative statement + and + subject + auxiliary only + too
so + auxiliary only + subject
e.g. They will work in the lab tomorrow. You will work in the lab tomorrow.
– They will work in the lab tomorrow and you will too
– They will work in the lab tomorrow and so will you
When any verb except be appears without any auxiliaries in the main clause, the auxiliary do, does, or did is used in simple statement. The subject and verb must agree and the tense must be the same.
Affirmative statement + and + subject + do, does, or did + too
(single verb except be) so + do, does, or did + subject
e.g. Jane goes to that school. My sister goes to school
– Jane goes to school and my sister does too
– Jane goes to school and so does my sister
Negative Agreement
Either and Neither function in simple statements much like so and too in affirmative sentences. However, either and neither are used to indicate negative agreement. The same rules for auxiliaries, be and do, does, or did apply.Negative statement + and + subject + negative auxiliary or be + either
neither + positive auxiliary + subject
e.g. I didn’t see Mary this morning. John didn’t see Mary this morning.
– I didn’t see Mary this morning and John didn’t either
– I didn’t see Mary this morning and neither did John
She hasn’t seen the movie yet. I haven’t seen the movie yet.
– she hasn’t seen the movie yet and I haven’t either
– she hasn’t seen the movie yet and neither have .
