Elliptical Sentence: Either Dan Neither

Pada bahan sebelumnya telah aku jelaskan elliptical sentence  yang memakai too dan so, dimana mereka dipakai hanya untuk kalimat positif. Sedangkan Either dan neither yang juga  digunakan untuk meringkas kalimat, namun khusus untuk kalimat negative. Dalam elliptical sentences yang memakai either dan neither mempunyai rumus sebagai berikut:

…..and neither + auxiliary/to be/modal + S
… and S + aux iliary/to be/modal + not either
Contoh :

He didn’t go to school yesterday.
She didn’t go to school yesterday

He didin’t go to school yesterday, and neither did she.
Atau    :
He didn’t go to school yesterday, and She didn’t either.

Perlu diperhatikan dan selalu diingat bahwa Not dalam elliptical sentences selalu disingkat, digabungkan dengan to be atau auxiliary verb yang ada dalam kalimat yang akan diringkas.
