So / Neither / Nor Substitution - Intermediate Exercises
B1-B2 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Intermediate practice includes past simple, present perfect, modal verbs, future forms, and be. Past simple uses did; present perfect uses have or has; modal verbs such as can, must, should, and would are repeated. Negative forms such as didn't, hasn't, can't, and won't need neither or nor. Negative adverbs such as never also make the agreement negative: "I had never tried it" - "Neither had she." These choices build accuracy across longer conversations. Checking the first sentence first prevents most helper-verb mistakes.
Quick Rule
So + matching helper verb + subject for positive statements; Neither/Nor + matching helper verb + subject for negative statements and negative adverbs
- 1.I visited York last year, and so did Anna.
- 2.She can speak German, and so can her brother.
- 3.We have not booked the tickets, and neither have they.
- 4.I was not at home yesterday, and nor were my parents.
- 5.He would love to visit Japan, and so would I.
