So - Neither - Either
English Grammar Rules
SO
SO is used to show agreement with positive statements.
SO + Auxiliary + Subject (pronoun)
The Auxiliary needs to agree with the verb tense in the original statement.
It is similar to using TOO at the end of a sentence.
| Person A | Person B | |
|---|---|---|
| I am happy. | So am I. | = I am happy too. |
| I'm going to Brazil in the summer. | So am I. | = I am going to Brazil too. |
| You look nice today. | So do you. | = you look nice too. |
| Stephanie has a new boyfriend. | So does Mary. | = Mary has a new one too. |

NEITHER
Neither is used to show agreement with negative statements.
Neither + Auxiliary + Subject (pronoun)
The Auxiliary needs to agree with the verb tense in the original statement.
It is similar to using either at the end of a sentence, although Neither is more commonly used, especially in spoken English.
A: I don't understand Spanish.
B: Neither do I. (= I don't understand Spanish either.)
A: I cannot swim.
B: Neither can I. (= I can't swim either.)
Sometimes people respond Me Neither instead of Neither + Auxiliary + Subject though this is very informal spoken English.
| Person A | Person B | |
|---|---|---|
| I am not hungry. | Neither am I. | = I'm not hungry either |
| I'm not going to quit. | Neither am I. | = I'm not going to quit either |
