So Neither - Me too
“I love strawberry ice cream.” – “Me too!”
Me Too / Me Neither
The easiest way to agree in English is to say ”Me too” (to
agree with a
positive statement) or “Me neither” (to agree with a negative
statement):
“I love strawberry ice cream.”
“Me too!”
“I don’t go to the gym very often.”
“Me neither.”
A “negative statement” is any sentence that uses a negative
auxiliary verb:
• don’t / doesn’t / didn’t
• can’t
• haven’t / hasn’t / hadn’t
• won’t / wouldn’t
• isn’t / aren’t / am not
• never
You can say “Me too” or “Me neither” in response to
statements in any tense
(present, past, future, present continuous, present perfect,
past perfect, etc.)
Examples:
“I’ve been traveling a lot for work lately.”
“Me too.”
“I haven’t seen the new movie yet.”
“Me neither.”
“I’m going to the beach tomorrow.”
“Me too!”
“I can’t draw very well.”
“Me neither.”
The phrase “me either” is not technically correct, but many
people
say it in spoken English!
