Agreement:
□ So + auxiliary verb + subject (with positive sentences)
e.g. I am a student. So, am I.
□ Neither + auxiliary verb + subject (with negative sentences)
e.g. I am not a doctor. Neither, am I.
□ Neither ... nor (conjunction to join two phrases):
e.g.: The coat was neither cheap nor nice.
REMEMBER!! As “neither” and “none” are already negative, we don’t use any auxiliary + not in a negative sentence.
EXAMPLES:
Neither of them didn’t see the movie. → Neither of them saw the film.
None of us doesn’t speak Chinese. → None of us speaks Chinese. [None = not one]
● Notice that both of these sentences could be considered correct: None of us speaks Chinese. (= Not one); None of us speak Chinese. (Not any = neither you nor me
speak)
