Affirmative Agreement
What is Affirmative Agreement?
When indicating that one person or thing does something
and then adding that another does the same, use the
wordsoortoo.To avoid needless repetition of words
from the affirmative statement, use the conjuction and
followed by a simple statement usingsoortoo.
Untuk menyatakan bahwa seseorang mengerjakan suatu
hal, sedangkan ada orang lain juga yang mengerjakan
hal yang sama, maka kata-katasoatautooharus
digunakan. Untuk menghindarkan pengulangan kata
yang tidak perlu yang terdapat dalam statement
affirmative, maka pakailah kata penghubung dengan
menempatkansoatautoo.

1. When a form of the verb be is used in the main

clause, the same tense of the verb be is used in
the simple statement that follows.
affirmative statement (be)
+ and + subject + verb (be) +
too
so + verb (be) + subject

e.g. I am happy. You are happy

- I am happy and you are too
- I am happy and so are you

2. When a compound verb (auxiliary + verb), for

example, will go, should do, has done, have written,
must examine, etc. occurs in the main clause, the
auxiliary of the main verb is used in the simple
statement, and the subject and verb must agree.
Affirmative statement + and + subject + auxiliary only + too
so + auxiliary only + subject

e.g. They will work in the lab tomorrow. You will work
in the
lab tomorrow.
- They will work in the lab tomorrow and you will
too
- They will work in the lab tomorrow and so will
you

3. When any verb except be appears without any

auxiliaries in the main clause, the auxiliary do, does,
or did is used in simple statement. The subject and
verb must agree and the tense must be the same.
Affirmative statement + and +
subject + do, does, or did + too
(single verb except be)
so + do, does, or did + subject

e.g. Jane goes to school. My sister goes to school

- Jane goes to school and my sister does too
- Jane goes to school and so does my sister
