So Too Either Neither

So, Too, Either, Neither
We use too and either at the end of a sentence.

We use too after a positive verb:
 
- ‘I'm happy.’ ‘I'm happy too.’
- ‘I enjoyed the film.’ ‘I enjoyed it too.’
- Mary is a doctor. Her husband is a doctor too.

We use either after a negative verb (am not / isn't / can't etc.):
 
- ‘I'm not happy.’ ‘I'm not happy either.’ (not ‘I'm not happy too.’)
- ‘I can't cook.’ ‘I can't either.’
- Bill doesn't watch TV. He doesn't read newspapers either.

 
So am I / Neither do I etc.

So am I (= I am too), So have I (= I have too) etc.:

- ‘I was late for work today.’ ‘So was John.
- ‘I work in a bank.’ ‘So do I.
- ‘We went to the cinema last night.’ ‘Did you? So did we.

Neither am I (= I'm not either), Neither have I (= I haven't either) etc.:
