Here you will learn to agree. Read the explanations and then watch this video and the others.
Hay dos maneras de mostrar acuerdo en inglés, una sencilla y otra más complicada. Primero lee estas explicaciones en español, luego lee las explicaciones en inglés (que dan más detalles) y luego mira este vídeo y los otros vídeos de esta lección.
FORMA SENCILLA (coloquial)
Acuerdo positivo:
- I like pizza = me gusta la pizza
- Me too = a mi también
- I will go to Munich - Josh too = iré a Munich / Josh también
- She can speak French and you too = ella puede hablar francés y tú también.
Acuerdo negativo:
Esta forma sólo se usa cuando el sujeto es "yo":
- I don't like football = no me gusta el fútbol
- Me neither = a mí tampoco
- You shouldn't go there and me neither = no deberías ir allí ni yo tampoco.
La palabra "neither" se pronuncia parecido a "naider" en el Reino Unido, aunque también allí mucha gente dice "niider". En America siempre se pronuncia "niider".
FORMA COMPLICADA
Esta forma es más complicada, pero se puede usar con cualquier sujeto.
Acuerdo positivo:
SO + auxiliar + Sujeto
(si la frase no tiene auxiliar usamos, como siempre, el DO)
- I like pizza = me gusta la pizza
- So do I = a mí también
- I will go to Munich - So will Josh
- She can speak French and so can you
Acuerdo negativo:
- I don't like football = no me gusta el fútbol
- Neither do I = a mí tampoco
- You shouldn't go there and neither should your brother
- Tim can't play the piano and neither can John = Tim no sabe tocar el piano y John tampoco.
Ahora lee las explicaciones en inglés y luego mira los vídeos.

Report mistakesPOSITIVE AGREEMENT
To express positive agreement we use: SO + Auxiliary* + Subject
If there is no auxiliary in the sentence, we use DO:
- I live in London and so does Susan = I live in London & Susan lives in London.
Tom: I like pizza
Sean: So do I
= Tom likes pizza and Sean likes pizza too
* special verbs that never use DO (auxiliaries and modals): to be, have, can, could, will, would, shall, should, may, might. These verbs are repeated in the second part of this construction:
- I can speak French
- So can my sister
(= I can speak French and your sister can speak French)
- Peter will go to London for the weekend and so will his sister = Peter will go to London & his sister will go to London
- I'm going to stay here and so are you = I'm going to stay here & you are going to stay here
Colloquial 
We can use SUBJECT + TOO for all the sentences.
- I like pizza
- Me too
- I can speak French
- My sister too
- Peter will go to London for the weekend and his sister too
- I can speak French and you too
NEGATIVE AGREEMENT
To express negative agreement we use: NEITHER + Auxiliary + Subject
The word NEITHER can be pronounced N + I + THER or N + EE + THER. In BrE they use the first form, with a diphthong, but some people use the second form. In AmE everybody uses the second form.
NEITHER is a negative word so it is used with an affirmative verb form (we can't have a double negative in a sentence).
I don't live in Rome and neither does Susan = I don't live in Rome & Susan doesn't live in Rome.
Tom: I don't like pizza
Sean: Neither do I
= Tom doesn't like pizza and Sean doesn't like pizza
- I can't speak French
- Neither can my sister
= I can't speak French and your sister can't speak French
- Peter won't go to London for the weekend and neither will you
- I'm not going to stay here and neither are you
Colloquial Me neither (we can only use it with the subject "Me", but not with other subjects)
- I don't like pizza
- Me neither
- I can't speak French
- Neither can my sister (you can't say: My sister neither)
