In short: How do we use it?

N: ow + didn't + hele ww

Q: did + ow + hele ww

Present simple:

P: ow + ww (+s, SHIT-rule)

N: ow + don't/doesn't + hele ww

Q: do/does + ow + hele ww

Present continuous

P: ow + to be + ww + ing

N: ow + to be + not + ww + ing

Replies: agreeing and disagreeing

Step 1: negative (ontkennend) or positive (bevestigend)?

Step 2: ontkennend = use 'not' or 'don't', bevestigend = use 'so' or 'too' or 'neither' (see examples)

Step 3: formulate a correct reply using the right personal pronoun (persoonlijke voornaamwoord) 

bijv. I'm not happy with this. > Neither am I (agree)> of I am (disagree) 

          I am happy with this. > So am I (agree)> I'm not (disagree)

          I like this painting. > Me too (agree)> I don't (disagree)
