Expressing agreement
�
We have two ways to express our agreement.
|
If we agree with a positive statement, we use
so + auxiliary verb + subject.
e.g. A: I like classical music.
B: So do I. |
If we agree with a negative statement, we use
neither/nor + auxiliary verb + subject.
e.g. A: I don�t like watching horror films.
B: Neither do I. |
�
Be careful! There are words that express negative. The following words are the most common used ones: nobody, none, nothing, no one, nowhere, nothing, seldom, rarely, scarcely, barely, hardly, deny, fail, never, only, unless, without, etc.

Now fill in the sentences with the correct form of the words. Don�t forget about the grammar.
