Hello everybody !

Is it correct when expressing similarities to to use will as in this example :

John : I will never talk to him .

James : So will I .

THANK YOU ALL AND MERRY XMAS

Will is correct in the first sentence, but the answer should be neither will I.

Happy days to you too.

never works as a negative answer.

- so you would rather respond

"neither will I" ... or "Nor will I"

... for the difference between �neither � and �nor � ... let �s have some native response ;o))

But, sure, you can �t use �so � ... you use "so will I" to confirm an affirmative statement:" I will continue to speak to him" - "so will I."

... so sorry ;o)

But, "will" ... will do well in both 1st and 2nd sentense ;o))

We would use "neither will I" most of the time. "Nor" is becoming old-fashioned and very formal.
