Sam Finch and Maria have left.Jake Steven,Connie,and Mike
and Mike are discussing the sale of WEFL and the new owner,Peter Case.
Listen to what they say.The sale of the station is a big story.
Yeah,I just wish this weren't happening.
I hope Peter Case is nice.So do I.
I hope he likes the show as it is.So do I.
I've read about him in the newspaper.He's bought a lot of other stations.
He has a lot of money.I hope he doesn't cancel the show.So do I.
Did you notice Jake.Mike and Connie's response:"So do I"?
We say"So do I"when we want to indicate that we agree with the other person,
or when we do the same things as the other person.For example...
I go to work every morning at nine.So do I.
I come home every evening at six.So do I.
Now listen and repeat.So do I.So do I.
Let's practice this expression.You hear...
I hope Peter Case is nice.And you say...So do I.
You hear...I go to work every day at nine.
And you say...So do I.Ready?Let's begin.
I hope Peter Case is nine.So do I.I go to work every day at time.So do I.
I like the show as it is.So do I.I feel terrific.So do I.
Maria and Sam are having lunch.Listen to their conversation.
This time listen for the negative form of So do I .
Well,Maria,what are you having?
Gee.I don't know.Everything on the menu looks so good.
Let me see...I really want something light.
Yeah,so do I.I'm not very hungry.
Well.they have fresh asparagus with a lemon sauce.
How about asparagus?They're in season.
No.I don't like asparagus.Funny.Neither do I.
Even with the lemon sauce.What about some broiled fish?
They have terrfic fish here...and maybe a green salad?
I can't decide.You order for me.would you,Sam?
What's the negative form of So do I?Neither do I.
Now listen and repeat.neither Neither do I.Neither do I.
Let's practice these short responses:"So dO I."And"Neither do I.
"You hear...I really want something light for lunch.And you reply...
So do I.You hear...I don't like asparagus.And you reply...
Neither do I.OK?Let's start.I really want something light for lunch.

Let's listen to some more of the conversation at WEFL.
Everyone's worried about what's going to happen with the new changes.
Listen for a different form of the short responses
"So do I"and "Neither do I" I wouldn't mind new people on the show.
Neither would I.We could use some help.especially with Maria leaving.
I've got an idea.Let's ask Maria to stay.Yes!
No.I wouldn't ask her.Neither would I.
She's very happy with Sam.I hope they get married.So do I.
It's a good move for Maria.But I hope the new ower is OK.
If we could meet him.I'd feel better.So would I.
What new form of So do I.did you hear in this conversation?
SO would I.And what is the negative form of So would I?Neither would I .
Notice that the form of the short response depends on the auxiliary verb in the original sentence.
So the short response to "I would speak"is...SO would I.
The short resonse to I have spoken"is...SO have I.
The short resonse to "I am speaking"is...SO am I.
And now answer yourself.what's the short response to I can speak English"?
So can I.And the short response to I speak English?SO do I.
The same system works in the negative form.
Let's practice the short response in some of its many forms.
You hear...I hope they get married.And you respond...So do I.You hear...
I wouldnt' mind new people on the show.
And you respond...Neither would I.OK?Here we go.
I hope they get married.So do I.
I wouldn't mind new people on the show.Neither would I.
