簡應句是用來附和前面的敘述,表示「……也(是)……」或「……也不(是)……」,有肯定簡應句與否定簡應句之分,茲說明如下:
1. 肯定簡應句中,用 so 或 too 來表「也」。 so 是副詞,表示「同樣地」,故之前要有連接詞 and 連接兩句,而且 so 之後須採倒裝句構; too 亦為副詞,置於句尾使用,簡應句不須倒裝,且其前多置逗點,句型如下:
肯定句 , and so + be 動詞/助動詞 + S
= 肯定句 , and + S + be 動詞/助動詞 , too
a. be 動詞:主詞與 be 動詞倒裝
Larry is nice, and so is his sister. (賴瑞人很好,他妹妹也是。)
= Larry is nice, and his sister is, too.
Amy was going home, and so was Kelly. (艾咪要回家了,凱莉也是。)
= Amy was going home, and Kelly was, too.
b. 助動詞:主詞與助動詞倒裝
He will come to the party, and so will she. (他會來參加派對,她也會。)
= He will come to the party, and she will, too.
He has finished his homework, and so has she. (他已經做完功課,她也做完了。)
= He has finished his homework, and she has, too.
c. 一般動詞:主詞與 do 、 does 、 did 倒裝
He came, and so did she. (他來了,她也來了。)
= He came, and she did, too.
He has a sense of humor, and so does she. (他有幽默感,她也有。)
= He has a sense of humor, and she does, too.
2. 否定簡應句中用 neither 、 nor 或 either 來表「也不」。 neither 為副詞,表「也不」,故其前須置and 連接兩個否定的主要子句,而 nor 為連接詞,亦表「也不」,其前不必置 and ,且使用 neither或 nor 之後必須接倒裝句; either 則置於句尾使用,其前要有否定副詞,再置逗點,且不採倒裝句構,句型如下:
否定句 , and neither + be 動詞/助動詞 + S
= 否定句 , nor + be 動詞/助動詞 + S
= 否定句 , and + S + 否定 be 動詞/助動詞 , either
a. be 動詞:主詞與 be 動詞倒裝
He isn’t nice, and neither is she. (他不好,她也不好。)
= He isn’t nice, nor is she.
= He isn’t nice, and she isn ’ t, either.
He wasn’t feeling well, and neither was she. (他不太舒服,她也不太舒服。)
= He wasn’t feeling well, nor was she.
= He wasn’t feeling well, and she wasn ’ t, either.
b. 助動詞:主詞與助動詞倒裝
He won’t come, and neither will she. (他不會來,她也不會。)
= He won’t come, nor will she.
= He won’t come, and she won ’ t, either.
He hasn’t come back yet, and neither has she. (他還沒有回來,她也還沒。)
= He hasn’t come back yet, nor has she.
= He hasn’t come back yet, and she hasn ’ t, either.
c. 一般動詞:主詞與 do 、 does 、 did 倒裝
He never tells a lie, and neither does she. (他從不說謊,她也從不說謊。)
= He never tells a lie, nor does she.
= He never tells a lie, and she doesn ’ t, either.
He has no money, and neither does she. (他沒有錢,她也沒有。)
= He has no money, nor does she.
= He has no money, and she doesn ’ t, either.
注意
有些字典及文法書會將 nor 視為副詞,前面用 and 來連接兩個子句,或是將 neither 視為連接詞,直接用 neither 來連接兩個子句,而不用 and 。
3. 在對話中,兩句指的是同一人時,不論句子是肯定句或否定句,均用 so 引導,且句子不倒裝。此時so 亦為副詞,相當於 indeed (的確)。
A: He is stupid. (甲:他很蠢。)
B: So he is. (乙:他的確很蠢。)
= Indeed he is.
A: You can’t do it. (甲:你不會做這事。)
B: So I can’t. (乙:我的確不會。)
= Indeed I can ’ t.
4. also (也)只能用在肯定句中,置於 be 動詞或助動詞之後或一般動詞之前。
He is kind, and she is also kind. (他很親切,她也是。)
He has a pen, and she also has one. (他有一支筆,她也有一支。)
He can swim, and she can also swim. (他會游泳,她也會游泳。)
