Exercício 1
Bob: I just climbed sixty flights of stairs. I can't believe the elevator is still broken.
Susie: .
Bob: But you don't look very tired. You must be in very good shape.
Susie: No. I just took the elevator.
Bob: What!? But it's broken.
Susie: One is broken, but not of them...
Bob: There's another one?! Damn. I could really use a drink.
Susie: , but I think I'll wait until after work.
Susie: .
Bob: But you don't look very tired. You must be in very good shape.
Susie: No. I just took the elevator.
Bob: What!? But it's broken.
Susie: One is broken, but not of them...
Bob: There's another one?! Damn. I could really use a drink.
Susie: , but I think I'll wait until after work.
Bob: I just climbed sixty flights of stairs. I can't believe the elevator is still broken.
Susie: Neither can I 1.
Bob: But you don't look very tired. You must be in very good shape.
Susie: No. I just took the elevator.
Bob: What!? But it's broken.
Susie: One is broken, but not both 2 of them...
Bob: There's another one?! Damn. I could really use a drink.
Susie: So could I 3, but I think I'll wait until after work.
Susie: Neither can I 1.
Bob: But you don't look very tired. You must be in very good shape.
Susie: No. I just took the elevator.
Bob: What!? But it's broken.
Susie: One is broken, but not both 2 of them...
Bob: There's another one?! Damn. I could really use a drink.
Susie: So could I 3, but I think I'll wait until after work.
1 Neither can I: Susie says 'Neither can I' to express her agreement with Bob's negative statement that he 'can't believe the elevator is broken'. We use 'can' as the auxiliary in the response, because it corresponds with the auxiliary used in Bob's original statement ("can't").
1 Neither do I: We do not use 'do' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement. When replying to a statement such as this one, we generally use the same auxiliary used in the original statement.
1 Neither am I: We do not use 'am' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement. When replying to a statement such as this one, we generally use the same auxiliary used in the original statement.
1 Neither did I: We do not use 'did' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement. When replying to a statement such as this one, we generally use the same auxiliary used in the original statement.
2 both: This is the best choice here. We use 'both' as a pronoun here to indicate the 'two elevators'. Example: -Do you want this cat or the other one? -I want both, mummy!
2 two: Although 'two of them' is grammatically correct, it does not make sense.
2 the both: 'The both of them' is grammatically incorrect. We do not use the definite article 'the' before 'both' when it is a pronoun.
3 So could I: Susie says 'So could I' to express her agreement with Bob's affirmative statement that he 'could use a drink'. We use 'could' as the auxiliary in the response, because it corresponds with the auxiliary used in Bob's original statement. Example: -I can run a mile in 4 minutes. -So can I.
3 So do I: We do not use 'do' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement.
3 So am I: We do not use 'am' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement.
3 So did I: We do not use 'did' as the auxiliary in the response, because 'can' is already used in the original statement.

Your Response : So do I 3.
Friend: Do you just agree with everything I say? I think you're stupid.
Your Response : So do I 4.
1 So could I: This is the best choice here. Because your friend's original statement (I could really eat some ice-cream) is in the affirmative, we use the affirmative 'So could I' to reply. We use 'could' here, because the auxiliary must agree with that used in the original. 'Me too' is also acceptable here.
2 Neither am I: This is the best choice here. Because your friend's original statement (I'm not a fan of chocolate) is in the negative we use the negative 'Neither am I'. We use 'am' here, because the auxiliary must agree with that used in the original.
3 So do I: This is the best choice here. Because your friend's original statement (I do like chocolate cakes) is in the affirmative, we use the affirmative 'So do I'. We use 'do' here, because the auxiliary must agree with that used in the original.
4 So do I: This is the best choice here. Because your friend's original statement (I think you're stupid) is in the affirmative we use the affirmative 'So do I'. We usually use 'do' in these constructions when there is not an auxiliary specified in the original statement.

1 Incorrect: This is the best choice here. 'So do I' is grammatically incorrect in this context. The auxiliary must agree with the auxiliary in the original statement which is 'have' (I have been thinking). The correct response would be: 'So have I'.
1 Correct: 'So do I' is not correct here.
2 Correct: This is the best choice here. 'Neither do I' is grammatically correct in this context. Because Bruno's original statement is in the negative (I don't know if I have the time), Bob uses 'Neither do I' to express his agreement with Bruno.
2 Incorrect: 'Neither do I' is not incorrect.
3 Incorrect: This is the best choice here. 'So do I' is grammatically incorrect in this context. The auxiliary must agree with the auxiliary in the original statement which is 'would' (I would really enjoy some time off). The correct response would be: 'So would I'.
3 Correct: 'So do I' is not correct here.
4 Incorrect: This is the best choice here. 'Neither do I' is grammatically incorrect in this context. The auxiliary must agree with the auxiliary in the original statement which is 'can' (I can't imagine abandoning everything). The correct response would be: 'Neither can I'.

Horatio: So should I 2.
Luna: Then again. Maybe I could just take off my dress.
Horatio: So could I 3.
1 So do I: This is the best choice here. When using the 'so do I' construction, if the original phrase lacks an auxiliary, we usually use the verb 'do'.
1 So should I: This is the incorrect. 'So should I' refers to a suggestion which is not made. One could use this type of construction as follows: '-I should call my mother. -So should I.'
1 Neither do I: This is incorrect. The construction 'neither do I' must correspond to a previous sentence in a negative form. For example: '-I don't want to go out tonight. -Neither do I.'
1 So could I: This is incorrect. The construction 'so could I' expresses possibility. It does not fit here. We might say, however: '-I could watch TV all day. -So Could I.'
2 So should I: This is the correct choice. We use 'so should I' because it corresponds to Luna's previous statement that she 'should take a little nap'.
2 So could I: This is incorrect. The expression 'so could I' expresses possibility or willingness. It never follows a statement using 'should'.
2 So do I: This is incorrect. The expression 'so do I' does not correspond to Luna's previous statement which uses a 'should' construction.
2 Neither do I: This is incorrect. The expression 'neither do I' does not correspond to Luna's previous statement which uses a 'should' construction.
3 So could I: This is the best choice here because it responds to Luna's previous statement that she 'could just take her dress off'.
3 So should I: This is incorrect. The expression 'so should I' doesn't correspond to Luna's previous statement which uses a 'could' construction.
3 So do I: This is incorrect. The expression 'so do I' doesn't correspond to Luna's previous statement which uses a 'could' construction.
3 Neither do I: This is incorrect. The expression 'neither do I' doesn't correspond to Luna's previous statement which uses a 'could' construction.
Exercício 5
Bruno: Hey Susie. Would you like to grab a drink after work?
Susie: . I have an appointment with the mayor.
Bruno: Oh! I had no idea. I thought you had finished that project.
Susie: ! But I received a call from the mayor's office this morning.
Bruno: I if I like this very much.
Susie: , but there's not much I can do to avoid it.
Susie: . I have an appointment with the mayor.
Bruno: Oh! I had no idea. I thought you had finished that project.
Susie: ! But I received a call from the mayor's office this morning.
Bruno: I if I like this very much.
Susie: , but there's not much I can do to avoid it.
Bruno: Hey Susie. Would you like to grab a drink after work?
Susie: I can't 1. I have an appointment with the mayor.
Bruno: Oh! I had no idea. I thought you had finished that project.
Susie: So did I 2! But I received a call from the mayor's office this morning.
Bruno: I don't know 3 if I like this very much.
Susie: Neither do I 4, but there's not much I can do to avoid it.
Susie: I can't 1. I have an appointment with the mayor.
Bruno: Oh! I had no idea. I thought you had finished that project.
Susie: So did I 2! But I received a call from the mayor's office this morning.
Bruno: I don't know 3 if I like this very much.
Susie: Neither do I 4, but there's not much I can do to avoid it.
1 I can't: This is the best choice here. 'Can't' is the contracted form of 'cannot', which is the negative construction used with 'can'.
1 I not can: 'Not' is never used directly after the subject and before the verb.
1 I can't not: 'I can't not' (I cannot not) forms a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in English.
1 I'm not can: We do not use an auxiliary (am), when using 'can' in negative constructions.
2 So did I: The auxiliary construction 'So did I' is used to show agreement. We use 'did' here because Susie is responding to Bruno's statement 'I thought you finished'. Because there is not an auxiliary in this original statement, we use 'do' conjugated in the past tense.
2 So do I: Because 'thought' in the Bruno's original statement is in the past tense, we cannot use 'do' in the present tense.
2 So am I: Because Bruno did not use the verb 'am' in his original statement, we cannot use it in the response.
2 So thought I: We never use regular verbs (thought) in the construction 'so do I'. We only use auxiliaries (be, do, could, will, etc.).
3 don't know: When forming a negative construction with a regular verb (know), we usually add a conjugated form of the auxiliary 'do' followed by 'not'. 'Don't' is the contracted form of 'do not'.
3 know not: Because 'know' is a regular verb, we must use an auxiliary to form the negation.
3 do know not: When we have an auxiliary and a regular verb, 'not' is placed in between the two.
3 known't: 'Known't' is grammatically incorrect. Because 'know' is a regular verb, we must use an auxiliary to form the negation.
4 Neither do I: The auxiliary construction 'Neither do I' is used to show agreement with a negative sentiment. We use 'do' here because Susie is responding to Bruno's statement 'I don't know if I like this'. The auxiliary 'do' is used in agreement with 'don't' in Bruno's statement.
4 Neither know I: We never use regular verbs (know) in the construction 'neither do I'. We only use auxiliaries (be, do, could, will, etc.).
4 Neither did I: Because 'don't' in Bruno's original statement is in the present tense, we cannot use 'did' in the past tense.
4 Neither am I: Because Bruno did not use the verb 'am' in his original statement, we cannot use it in the response.
