Mastering “Neither… nor” and “Either… or” in English: Part 5 – Either without or
Using either
to agree with someone in the negative
Sometimes either is used to show agreement in the negative. If someone tells you about a negative opinion/ feeling, they can use the word “either” to show that you feel the same way.
Example
Person A: “I don’t understand Greek.”
Person B:
“I don’t understand it either.”
Person A: “I don’t like spinach.”
Person B: “I don’t like it either.”
Using too to
agree with someone
If someone tells
you about a positive opinion/ feeling, they can use the word “too” to show that you
feel the same way.
Person A: “I understand Greek.”
Person B:
“I understand Greek too.”
Person A: “I like spinach.”
Person B: “I like it too.”
