Abrir 1 A: 'I haven't written the essay yet.' B: 'Neither have I.'
➪ After so/neither we use the same auxiliary or modal verb as in the first sentence: be, do,
have, can, will, must, etc.
➪ And remember that after neither, we use an affirmative auxiliary verb.
➪ The sentence 'I'm very thirsty' is affirmative and has the auxiliary verb be; for this reason,
we use the structure so + be + subject.
➪ The form 'Too I am' is incorrect; if we want to use the word too we should say 'I am (very
thirsty) too'.
➪ After neither we have to use an affirmative auxiliary verb because neither is a negative
word, like not.
➪ We use will because it's the same auxiliary verb we have in the first sentence.
4 A: 'I can't forgive them for what happened.' B: 'I can't forgive them either .'
➪ Instead of so/neither + auxiliary verb + subject, we can also use too or either at the end
of the sentence.

➪ The sentence 'Mum was very proud of us' is affirmative and has the auxiliary verb was; for
this reason, we use the structure so + was + subject.

was (very proud) too.'

we have in the previous sentence.
