* Affirmative Agreement
When indicating that one person or thing does something and then adding that another does the same, use the word “so” or “too”. To avoid needless repetition of words from the affirmative statement, use the conjunction “and”, followed by a simple statement using so or too. The order of this statement will depend on whether so or too is used.
• When a form of the verb be is used in the main clause, the same tense of verb be is used in the simple statement that follows.
Affirmative statement (be) + and + [ S + verb (be) + too]
Example: I am sad and you are too.
Affirmative statement (be) + and + [ so + verb (be) + S ]
Example: I am sad and so are you.
• When a compound verb (auxiliary +verb), for example, will go, should do, has done, have written, must examine, etc., occurs in the main clause, the auxiliary of the main verb is used in the simple statement, and the subject and verb must agree.
Affirmative statement (compound verb) + and + [ S + auxiliary only + too ]
Example: Robby should do his homework and Larisa should too.
Affirmative statement (compound verb) + and + [ so + auxiliary only + S ]
Example: Robby should do his homework and so does Larisa.
• When any verb except be appears without any auxiliaries in the main clause, the auxiliary do, does, or did is used in the simple statement. The subject and verb must agree and the tense must be the same.
Affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + [ S + do, does ,or did + too ]
Example: Akbar plays guitar every day and Erna does too.
Affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + [ so + do, does, or did + S ]
Example: Sari sung “Gee” and so did Yani
Additional Examples:
1. Rose likes to fly, and her brother does too.
2. They will leave at noon, and I will too.
* Negative Agreement
Negative statement + and + [ S + negative auxiliary or be + either]
Negative statement + and + [ neither + positive auxiliary or be + S ]

I didn’t see Anggi this morning. Ardi didn’t see Anggi this morning
I didn’t see Ardi this morning and Anggi didn’t either.
I didn’t see Anggi this morning and neither did Edward.
