I need help!
Hi,
I need to know if the underlined word is right in the following sentence " My brother can play the piano very well - So can mine" or if it's better to say " neither can my brother or he". I have this dount because the formula is neither/so plus auxiliar plus subject (can be the possessive pronoun considered a subject?)
And in the sentence "She hasn't got any money" the right answer is "Neither do I" or "Neither have I" ?
Thanks a lot

Hi, I think "so can mine" is ok. "Mine" is a pronoun, so you can use it like it's a normal noun, as a subject. "Neither do I" is ok.

- "Neither do I" is ok.
- I think "Neither have I" is ok too in British English, but not common in the United States (American English).
