2. They are in problems. So are we.
3. You aren't old. Neither are they.
4. Mary was in Egypt. So was she.
5. My father is a doctor. So is mine. (or So is my father). r both correct?
6. -I wouldn't do that.
-Neither would I.
7. They have gone to the USA. So have I.
8. She hasn't bought anything. Neither has he.

Thank you very much.
