We use the word so or too when indicating that one person or thing does the same thing as another person or thing. Also, the conjunction and is used to avoid repetition of the affirmative statement and the simple statement containing either so or too. The order of the simple statement will depend on which word, so or too, is used.
Study the following formulas for using affirmative agreement statements after various verb forms.
• When a form of the verb be is used in the main clause, the same tense must be used in the following simple statement.
affirmative statement (verb be) + and + [subject + verb (be) + too] OR [so + verb (be) + subject]
She is smart and you aretoo. She is smart and soare you.
• When a compound verb (auxiliary + verb) is used in the main clause, the auxiliary verb is used in the simple statement. The subject and verb of the simple statement must also agree.
affirmative statement (compound verb) + and + [subject + auxiliary verb + too] OR [so + auxiliary verb + subject]
She should finish her homework and you shouldtoo. She should finish her homework and soshould you.
Mark has eaten all his dinner and Shirley hastoo. Mark has eaten all his dinner and sohas Shirley.
• When any other verb (except be) appears without an auxiliary in the main clause, the auxiliary do, does, or did is used in the simple statement. Again, the subject and verb must agree and the same tense must be used.
affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + [subject + do, does, or did + too] OR [so + do, does, or did + subject]
I walk to school and my friends dotoo. I walk to school and sodo my friends.
Other examples of affirmative agreement sentences:
Our professor went to the theatrical production and we didtoo. Our professor went to the theatrical production and sodid we.
Jeff will be in Toronto and Elaine willtoo. Jeff will be in Toronto and sowill Elaine.
I have visited China and my brother hastoo. I have visited China and sohas my brother.
My sister was valedictorian of her class and my brother wastoo. My sister was valedictorian of her class and sowas my brother.
Their parents are going to the conference and ours aretoo. Their parents are going to the conference and soare ours.
Exercise 27: Using Affirmative Agreement
Fill in the blanks of the simple statements below with the correct form of the appropriate verb.
1. Randall wants to go to Europe and I __________________ too. 2. Their parents are attending the benefit dinner and so __________________ mine. 3.
