EITHER/NEITHER - SO/TOO
Utilizamos a estrutura SO + AUXILIAR + SUJEITO para concordar com orações afirmativas. Já para concordância com orações negativas temos
a estrutura NEITHER + AUXILIAR + SUJEITO.
Exemplos:

I don’t live in London → Neither do I
We live in London and so do they.
My parents don’t come here often. Neither does Alex.
She isn’t French and neither is he.
You don’t like cold weather. Neither do we.

Na tabela abaixo temos as concordâncias nos mais variados tempos verbais.

Present simple: use ‘do / does’ Lucy likes coffee. So do I. Lucy doesn’t like coffee. Neither does he.

Present simple with ‘be’: use ‘am / is / are’ John’s at the office. So is she. John isn’t at the office. Neither am I.

Present continuous: use ‘am / is / are’ Luke’s going out tonight. So am I. Luke isn’t going out tonight. Neither am I.

Past Simple: use ‘did’ Jill went to the cinema yesterday. So did I. Jill didn’t go to the cinema yesterday. Neither did I.

Present perfect: use ‘have / has’ They’ve been to Colombia. So have I. They haven’t been to Colombia. Neither have I.

Future simple: use ‘will’ Edward will be at the cafe later. So will I. Edward won’t be at the cafe later. Neither will I.

He would like a cup of tea. So would I. He wouldn’t like a cup of tea. Neither would I.
Modal verbs: repeat the modal verb
Emma can speak Russian. So can I. Emma can’t speak Russian. Neither can I.

Outras estruturas que podemos utilizar para concordância são as que possuem TOO e EITHER, onde teremos SUJEITO + AUXILIAR + TOO para
as orações afirmativas e SUJEITO + AUXILIAR NA NEGATIVA + EITHER para orações negativas.
Exemplos:
He hates mushrooms → She does too
I don’t live in London → I don’t either (= I also don’t live in London).

Abaixo exemplos em mais alguns tempos verbais:

Present simple: John’s at the office → I am too.
Present continuous: Luke isn’t going out tonight → I’m not either.
Present perfect: They’ve been to Colombia → I have too.
Modal verbs: Emma can’t speak Russian → I can’t either.

Por fim podemos ter a estrutura ‘me too’ e ‘me neither’. ‘Me too’ com mesmo sentido da estrutura SO + AUXILIAR + SUJEITO e ‘me neither’
com o mesmo sentido de NEITHER + AUXILIAR + SUJEITO. Tanto ‘me too’ quanto ‘me neither’ são informais:
I hate mushrooms → Me too

NUMERAIS (ORDINAIS E CARDINAIS)

Na parte dos numerais é importante entender a diferença entre os cardinais e os ordinais. Cardinais são números mais comuns do dia a dia
(1, 2, 3...), já os ordinais são aqueles utilizados principalmente para indicar colocação (1º, 2º, 3º...). Ao olhar a tabela abaixo é importante
compreender que as letras que aparecem ao final do numeral ordinal escrito em forma de numeral são as duas últimas letras do mesmo número
escrito por extenso (first [primeiro] → 1st).

Text II:
THE MAN IN THE CONVERTIBLE
One morning, well after I was diagnosed with cancer, I got an
email from Robbee Kosak, 7Carnegie Mellon’s vice president for
advancement. She told me a story.
She said she had been driving home from work the night before,
22
and 11she found herself behind a man in a convertible. 1It was a warm,
gorgeous, early-spring evening, and the man had his top down and
all his windows lowered. His arm was hanging over 8the driver’s side
door, and his fingers were tapping along to the music on his radio.
His head was bobbing along, too, 13as the wind blew through his hair.
60 PROMILITARES.COM.BR
Robbee changed lanes and pulled a little closer. From the side,
she could see that the man had a slight smile on his face, the kind of
16absentminded smile a person might have when he’s all alone, happy
in his own thoughts. 12Robbee found herself thinking: “Wow, this is
the epitome of a person appreciating this day and this moment.”
The convertible 18eventually turned the corner, and that’s when
Robbee got a look at 9the man’s full face. “Oh my God,” she said to
herself. “It’s Randy Pausch!”
2
She was so struck by the sight of me. She knew that my cancer
diagnosis was grim. And yet, 14as she wrote in her email, 3she was
moved by how contented I seemed. In this private moment, 4I was
19
obviously in high spirits. Robbee wrote in her email: “You can never
know how much that glimpse of you made my day, reminding me of
what life is all about.”
I read 10Robbee’s email several times. I came to look at it 15
as a
feedback loop of sorts.
It has not always been easy to stay positive through my cancer
treatment. When you have a dire medical issue, it’s tough to know
how you’re 20really faring emotionally. I had wondered whether a part
of me was acting when I was with other people. Maybe at times I
forced myself to appear strong and upbeat. Many cancer patients feel
obliged to put up a brave front. Was I doing that, too?
But Robbee had come upon me in an unguarded moment. I’d
like to think she saw me as I am. 5She 21certainly saw me as I was that
evening.
Her mail was just a paragraph, but it meant a great deal to me.
6
She had given me a window into myself. I was still fully 17engaged. I
still knew life was good. I was doing OK.
