Hello everyone,  this is Andrew at Crown Academy of English. Today we are doing a lesson on how to agree with people.

未来形

And in particular, I am going to teach you how to say that something is the same for you or for somebody else. Okay? So let's get started.

現在進行形

So, here is a friend of mine called David and David and I are having a conversation.

Now this means that I am saying to David that I am going to the cinema too.

I can also say "So is Jane." and that means I am telling David that Jane is also going to the cinema. I am agreeing with him.

So this, on the right, this is the grammar structure that I want you to learn.

And to form this structure, we must look at the structure of the first sentence.

And if you notice, everything that David is saying. Everything is in the AFFIRMATIVE.

So since it is in the affirmative and we are agreeing with him then we must start our sentence with the word "So". Ok?

"So" means that we are agreeing with someone in the affirmative.

And we can also notice that in David's sentence, there is an auxiliary verb.

This is the auxiliary verb, the verb "to be" and it goes... it is in front of the main verb.

So since David uses an auxiliary verb, we must use the same auxiliary verb when we reply.

So we must also use the verb "to be" and we put it after the word "so".

And the verb "to be", it must agree with the subject that we are using.

So here, the subject is "I" and so we put the verb "to be" in the first person singular... which is "am"

Okay it's the same auxiliary verb, the verb "to be" but this time our subject is Jane. Now Jane is the third person singular.

So we put the verb "to be" in the third person singular which is "is"

Here is the auxiliary verb "can" and so we use "can" in our reply and again, we make it agree with the subject.

Ok, so the rule is: When we are agreeing with an affirmative which has an auxiliary verb,

then the form is: "So" then the auxiliary verb and then the subject. Okay?

So that is the first rule. Now let us look at the second rule.

Caroline says "I like watching television."

Ok, again, this is the grammar structure I want you to learn.

Again, Caroline is talking in the affirmative and so we always use the word "so".

But this time, Caroline does not use any auxiliary verbs. She only uses main verbs. Alright?

So since there are no auxiliary verbs, in our reply, then we use the verb "to do."

And again... the verb "to do", we make it agree with the subject.

Alright? So here, the subject is "I" and so we put "do" in the first person singular .

Here, it is Mark is the subject and so the third person singular of "do" is "does"

That is why we say "So DOES Mark." We do not say "So do Mark."

"So did I." -  Now this one is a little bit different. This time we use the past participle because Caroline used the past tense.

She said "I walked". So we have to put the verb "do" in the past tense. So that is why we say "So did I." - The past participle.

And it's the same when we talk about Mark: "So did Mark."

Alright, so the rule here is - When we are are agreeing with an affirmative without auxiliary verbs,

then we say: "So", then the verb "to do" and then the subject. Ok?

So here, this is the negative. So Peter is using the negative in all of his sentences.

And we are agreeing with him. So when we want to agree with somebody who is using the negative,

then we start the sentence with the word "neither". Alright? That is pronounced "neither"

And then, it is exactly the same as the first rule.

So Peter is using auxiliary verbs and so we must also use auxiliary verbs in the correct form. In the correct conjugation. Okay?

We must make the auxiliary verb agree with the subject.
