hello everyone how are you today this is Marc I'm doing great
thanks for asking I have an interesting lesson for you today let's look at our
examples shall we ? I don't like watching talk shows on TV neither do I - he went to
work this morning so did I - I didn't understand your
comment he did - they'll visit their cousin next week we won't - John has been
studying Italian since 2005 me too - in this lesson we're going to look at how
to agree or disagree in a statement so stay tuned - great so we're going to agree
and disagree with a statement some people find it so hard to agree and
disagree with a statement they basically use me too for everything well that's
wrong let me tell you first that in order to watch this lesson you should be
able to understand all the tenses and all the modal verbs because we are going
to use the auxiliaries of the tenses so I suggest you review all those lessons so
agreeing with a statement in a negative sentence we use neither it has two
pronunciations neither or neither you can choose so for example I don't
like watching talk shows on TV I said right the other person or yourself would
say neither or neither do I - now the formula for this answer would be neither
obviously or neither plus auxiliary the auxiliary of the sentence of the other
statement of the other person so if I say I don't like
you understand that the axillary would be DO right so neither do and then the
pronoun or the subject so if you're talking about yourself
neither do I or neither does she for example talking about Mary okay so
it depends now let's look at another example he won't be late for the meeting
he won't be late for the meeting so neither or neither will she another
person neither or neither will she so neither plus auxiliary the auxiliary is
will because he's talking about a future sentence so neither will and then the
subject or the pronoun neither will she - so what happens if the sentence is
positive and you want to agree you use SO he went to work this morning he went
to work this morning and I want to say me too right ? - in this case you can say
me too - so did I so did I or me too so plus the auxiliary of the other
person's statement did because this went right is the past of the verb to go so
did I - so did I - now another example they've lost their pen so I would say so
has he - so plus auxiliary of the present perfect because the statement was using
the present perfect so has he so has he okay let's take a look at the
disagreeing part now - if the statement is negative then you would use subject or
the pronoun plus the auxiliary let's take a look at the example I didn't
understand your comment I didn't understand your comment the person the
other person would say he subject sorry or pronoun he did - he did
so I disagree with that statement in the negative if it's a negative
statement I would say he okay the subject did the same auxilary of the
statement of the original statement he did in the past - obviously now another
example he doesn't work on Mondays he's very lucky! he doesn't work on Mondays I
do - I the subject and then the auxiliary of the statement the original statement
I do - now let's take a look at a positive sentence to disagree with a positive
statement I will use the subject plus the auxiliary plus not - so the
introductory example was - they'll visit their cousin next week - they'll visit
their cousin next week we won't ! so the subject or the pronoun we will
not won't we won't okay because the original was in the future and I use the
same auxiliary of the future we will not we won't - another example she's from Italy
she's from Italy I'm not I'm not I am NOT you can say I am not but we usually
contract it and we say I'm not I'm not I am NOT which is the verb to be and the
verb to be you know that it works by itself right so the auxiliary is the
verb to be and you use it to disagree with a positive sentence
in this case right ? I'm not you cannot say if you want to for
example she isn't from Italy and you want to disagree with that I would say I
am I am - no I'm - we cannot contract I am we use I
am a not I'm - but if you add not you can contract it I'm not because you're
stressing not right - there okay let's take a look at me too - so if the
statement has to be positive to use me too - let's take a look at my example my
introductory example - John has been studying Italian since 2005 I would say
me too - me too or I could say so have I
very good or you can say - like John I too have been studying Italian okay - this is
another usage or another example or another way to say the same thing or you
can even use as well - John has been studying Italian since 2005 and you can
say I have so auxiliary of the present perfect because we're talking about the
present perfect simple right there a present perfect continuous sorry I
and then the auxiliary is have or has I have as well - as well instead of TOO as
well which means TOO - now be careful when the sentence is negative like in this
case John has never been to Australia never is the negative part right of the
sentence - John has never been to Australia and then you would answer me
neither or me neither or even say neither or
neither have I and we use the same auxiliary
in this case have neither have I - or you can say like John I have never been to
Australia either ! EITHER okay like John I have never been to Australia either well
