常見英文錯誤: I CAN’T SWIM, TOO

I CAN’T SWIM, TOO.

「我也不會游泳」這句話的英文真的是這樣說的嗎?絕對不是!看看這些肯定否定的「也」該怎麼說。
A. 放句尾:肯定的用 too,否定為 either。
e.g., He can swim, and I can, too. / He didn’t swim, and I didn’t, either.
他會游泳,而我也會。 / 他沒游泳,我也沒有。
B. 放句首:肯定的用 so,否定為 neither,後面要倒裝。
e.g., He can swim, and so can I. / He will not swim, and neither will I.(注意這邊的will要改為肯定哦)
他會游泳,而我也會。/ 他之後不會游泳,而我之後也不會。

Look at the sentences below. A is the speaker. B answers, and sometimes
a third person C answers after B.
When you agree with the speaker…
AI like ice cream. BMe, too. or I do, too. or So do I.
A: I can play the piano. BMe, too. or I can, too. or So can I.
AI am hungry. B: Me, too. or I am, too. or So am I.
AI don’t like hamburgers. BMe, either. or Neither do I.
A: I can’t cook. BMe, either. or Neither can I.
A: I’m not tired. BMe either. or Neither am I.
In the sentences above, a third person (C) would say the same thing as the second person (B)
When you don’t agree with the speaker…
AI love fried fish. BI don’t. CI don’t either. or Neither do I.
AI am tall. BI’m not. CI’m not either. or Neither am I.
AI can sing. BI can’t. CI can’t either. or Neither can I.
AI don’t like chocolate. BI do. CI do, too.
AI’m not Canadian. BI am. CI am, too.
AI can’t speak English. BI can. CI can, too.
Note- there may be a few other possible ways to answer these questions.
