So do I
When we speak, we tend to omit things we’ve already mentioned because old information is considered unnecessary. In English we often use auxiliary verbs to avoid repetition: The wine was great, but the food wasn’t (great). She’s going to Scotland, and I am (going to Scotland) too . A common structure to do this is so + auxiliary verb + subject : She’s going to Scotland, and so am I . ‘So am I’ here means ‘I’m going to Scotland too .’ The auxiliary verb ( am ) is the verb in the sentence we don’t want to repeat – I ’m going to Scotland . A few more examples: She’s hungry, and so am I . (= I am hungry too.) ‘I can swim.’ ‘ So can I !’ (= I can swim too!) Everyone has finished, and so have I . (= I have finished too.) Remember that we use do in the simple present and did in the simple pas...
