“I would die for cheese and mac for lunch”
“Me too”
“But I don't know if i would be able to have lunch since I have workload”
“Me too”
“Maybe I could afford a cup of coffee”
“Me too”
“....”
Nggak mau kan teman bicara kalian emosi karena kalian bilangnya “me too” “me too” aja? Sebenarnya ada banyak loh cara bilang ‘aku juga’..
Nah pada artikel kali ini, EnglishVit bakal jelasin gimana cara memakai auxiliary verbs be, modal verbs, ‘so’, ‘too’, ‘either’ dan ‘neither’, supaya kita nggak pakai ‘me too’ aja waktu mau menyetujui sesuatu.
AUXILIARY VERBS
Untuk menggunakan auxiliary verbs dalam menyetujui sesuatu, kita hanya perlu mengulangi auxiliary verbs yang diberikan oleh lawan bicara nih, seperti contoh di bawah ini:
Stimulus | Response |
I am taking English Major | So am I! |
I was eating the whole night | So was I! |
I live in Bandung | So do I! |
I submitted the paper on time, but the Professor rejected it. | So did mine! |
I can stare at the main vocal for a day. | So can I! |
I’ve been to that beach. | So have I! |
I would love to have bread tonight. | So would I! |
So
Selain contoh penggunaan so yang sederhana sebelumnya, so bisa juga digunakan secara lebih panjang. Nah biar kalian nggak bingung dengan susunan kalimat penggunaan so, perhatikan rumus berikut ya:
Subject-Verb-So-Auxiliary verbs-Subject
Subjek diikuti verb kemudian diiringi so dan aux yang diakhiri dengan subjek lagi. Contoh :
- I have to go and so do you.
- She needs to get vaccinated and so does her sister.
- Joe ate the doughnut and so did his twin.
- Lala loves cats and so does Lisa.
- Indah plays mobile games, so does her sister.
Too
Too diletakkan diakhir kalimat, atau biar lebih mudah perhatikan rumus dibawah ini ya!
Subject-Auxiliary verbs-too
Subjek dan auxiliary diikuti dengan subjek dan auxiliary dan ditutup dengan too. Contoh :
- She has finished and he has too.
- I love to draw and my sister does too.
- Rose is sleepy today and I am sleepy too.
- I should buy the album and you should too.
- Brody has to study and I have to study.
NEITHER
Penggunaan neither selalu diikuti oleh auxiliary verbs dan subject, seperti contoh dibawah ini:
Stimulus | Response |
I’m not hungry. | Neither am I |
I wasn’t upset | Neither was I |
I don’t like his attitude | Neither do I |
I didn’t cry at that time | Neither did I |
I can’t cook | Neither can I |
I haven’t submit my paper | Neither have I |
I wouldn’t spill this to anyone | Neither would I |
EITHER
Either selalu di awali dengan subject + negative auxiliary verb dan diikuti dengan subject + negative auxiliary verb. Contoh penggunaannya sebagai berikut:
- I don’t like pasta and my brother doesn’t either.
- Mom can’t pick me up and dad can’t either.
- Dio doesn’t speak English and Hana doesn’t either.
- Lana didn’t see Wulan and Abel didn’t either.
- She won’t be going to the seminar and her colleagues won’t either.
Itulah penjelasan singkat tentang cara mengungkapkan ‘aku juga’ selain pakai ‘me too’. Jangan lupa dipraktekin and as always, no more theories, let's practice! Menurut kalian yang paling mudah dipraktekkan yang mana nih?
