Example: I love vanilla ice-cream. – So do I.
(We use so to agree with an affirmative sentence; we use do because the sentence is in Present Simple)
I can’t stand horror films. – Neither can Anna.
(We use neither to agree with a negative sentence; we use can because this modal verb is used in the initial sentence)
