Agreement and disagreement


If you want to agree with someone on something they have said you can do it in two different ways:
_ The easy way:
Agreement on something expressed in an affirmative sentence
Agreement on something expressed in a negative sentence
ME TOO  ( yo también)
ME NEITHER ( yo tampoco)

Examples:
Someone says
You say
I love swimming
I can drive
I am a student
I was late
I went to the cinema
I have been to NY
I will do it
I would like an ice-cream



ME TOO
I don’t like football
I can’t play the piano
I am not the manager
I wasn’t interested
I didn’t apply for the job
I haven’t been to Thailand
I won’t go
I wouldn’t like to be a doctor


ME NEITHER


-The not so easy way (using the auxiliary that corresponds to the sentence that has been said before and expresses what you agree or disagree on ):
Agreement on something expressed in an affirmative sentence
Agreement on something expressed in a negative sentence
SO + auxiliary + I
NEITHER + auxiliary + I

Examples:
Someone says
You say
 I love swimming
I can drive
I am a student
I was late
I went to the cinema
I have been to NY
I will do it
I would like an ice-cream
So do I
So can I
So am I
So was I
So did I
So have I
So will I
So would I
I don’t like football
I can’t play the piano
I am not the manager
I wasn’t interested
I didn’t apply for the job
I haven’t been to Thailand
I won’t go
I wouldn’t like to be a doctor
Neither do I
Neither can I
Neither am I
Neither was I
Neither did I
Neither have I
Neither will I
Neither would I

If you want to disagree with someone on something they have said:
Use the auxiliary that corresponds to the sentence that has been said and that expresses what you disagree on.
Examples:
Someone says
You say  
I love swimming
I can drive
I am a student
I was late
I went to the cinema
I have been to NY
I will do it
I would like an ice-cream
I don’t     (A mi no, yo no)
I can’t
I’m not
I wasn’t
I didn’t
I haven’t
I won’t
I wouldn’t
I don’t like football
I can’t play the piano
I am not the manager
I wasn’t interested
I didn’t apply for the job
I haven’t been to Thailand
I won’t go
I wouldn’t like to be a doctor
I do          ( A mi sí, yo sí)
I can
I am
I was
I did
I have
I will
I would
