Agreeing with a positive or a negative
| Expression | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Me too | Agree with a positive statement | "I love dogs." "Me too!" |
| Me neither | Agree with a negative statement | "I can't swim." "Me neither!" |
Short and informal:
Both are short, spoken responses — you're not repeating the whole sentence, just showing you feel the same way. They work for likes, dislikes, abilities, opinions, and more.
More examples:
"I'm so tired today." "Me too."
"I've never been to Japan." "Me neither."
"I don't understand this exercise." "Me neither."
"I'm really hungry." "Me too."
"I'm so tired today." "Me too."
"I've never been to Japan." "Me neither."
"I don't understand this exercise." "Me neither."
"I'm really hungry." "Me too."
The most common mistake
Learners often use "Me too" to agree with a negative statement — but that's what "Me neither" is for.
❌ "I don't like coffee." "Me too."
✅ "I don't like coffee." "Me neither."
✅ "I don't like coffee." "Me neither."
Quick check:
Is the sentence you're agreeing with positive or negative? Positive → Me too. Negative (not, don't, can't, never…) → Me neither.
