Como
Usar “So”, “Too”, “Either” e “Neither” Para Concordar Em Inglês
Você já conhece a maneira mais fácil de concordar com
alguém em inglês:
Me too! – Eu também!
Me either / neither! – Nem eu!
Me either / neither! – Nem eu!
Em inglês temos algumas outras maneiras de concordar
com alguém e deixar sua fala mais fluente e elaborada.
Como fazer?
Veja este exemplo:
I’m thirsty. – Estou com sede. Verbo To Be= não tem auxiliar, por isso utilizamos ele mesmo.
Você pode concordar usando o verbo auxiliar – no
caso am também porque se trata de “eu” falando.
I am, too.
Ou você pode usar a forma so + verbo + sujeito:
So am I.
Perceba que a
inversão do verbo (am) com o
sujeito (I) não indica que é uma pergunta, ok?
Vejamos mais alguns exemplos com Verbos Auxiliares.
I can speak English. Verbo Modal Auxiliar Can (para pedidos e/ou permissões)
I can, too. Could - passado do verbo Can
So can I.
I can, too. Could - passado do verbo Can
So can I.
I’ll be on vacation next week. Auxiliar do Futuro Will = Futuro do Presente
I will, too.
So will I.
I will, too.
So will I.
I have been married for a long time. Present Perfect = Auxiliar Have/Has + Verbo no Past Partic.(3ª coluna dos verbos irregulares)
I have, too.
So have I.
I have, too.
So have I.
I should study more. Verbo Modal Auxiliar Should (para conselhos)
I should, too.
So should I.
I should, too.
So should I.
I would like a cup of coffee. Auxiliar do Futuro Would = Futuro do Pretérito
I would, too.
So would I.
I would, too.
So would I.
Agora, quando
não temos verbos auxiliares (am, is, are, will, would,
should, can etc), então usamos do, does e did, dependendo do tempo verbal em que a frase
estiver.
I have a car.
I do, too.
So do I. Auxiliar do Tempo Verbal no Presente = do (I, you, we, they) e does (he, she, it)
I do, too.
So do I. Auxiliar do Tempo Verbal no Presente = do (I, you, we, they) e does (he, she, it)
