Advanced So / Neither / Nor Substitution Exercises

Advanced so, neither, and nor substitution tests agreement across complex verb phrases. Positive agreement still uses So + helper verb + subject: "She has been working here for years" - "So has he." Negative agreement still uses Neither/Nor + helper verb + subject: "I wouldn't have agreed" - "Neither would I." The challenge is choosing the first meaningful helper verb in longer structures, including perfect continuous, passive, future continuous, and conditional forms accurately.

Negative adverbs are especially important. Words such as never, rarely, seldom, hardly, scarcely, and barely make the statement negative for this exercise, so the response needs neither or nor: "I rarely eat fast food" - "Nor does my wife." Nor is common in formal English, while neither is more common in speech. Keep the inverted order after both words: helper verb before subject, not normal statement order. This final route rewards careful reading of the whole verb phrase before choosing. Read the first clause carefully before responding.
