Default Re: So have I/So do I

[quote=David L.;286902]"She has three dogs." "So does he."

Or should we use "So has he" - 'does' is more colloquial, casual, and 'has' is just a little bit more formal in speech. I would appreciate it if you could tell me why you changed "shall" into "should". Wasn't "shall" correctly used in that case in the meaning of "asking for directions"? Does "should" sound better here? Thought "shall" was the only possible variant for the situation described above.
Thank you.
