[Grammar] So do mine in agreement

[mrmvp]

Do ''so do mine.'' and ''so do I." have the same meaning in showing agreement? I still do not understand.When should I use possessive pronouns like ''so do mine.''?

Please write sentences which you think might elicit the rejoinders 'So do mine' and 'So do I'.

John : I love writing.

Peter : so do I. Can I say so do mine?

What I know is that agreeing go with personal pronouns

For example,

Adam : I slept early yesterday.

John : so was I

Adam : we are not sure.

Sarah : Neither are we

Is using possessive pronouns have the same meaning as personal pronouns?

For example,

Adam : I need to charge my phone.

Sami : so do mine.



Adam : I need to charge my phone.

Sami :so do I.

John : I love writing.

Peter : so do I. Can I say so mine? No

Adam : I need to charge my phone.
Sami : So do I. This is correct.

Adam: My phone needs changing.
Sami: So does mine. This is also correct.

No, I didn't, sorry. I thought it was becoming obvious.
If what is said is about a possessive, and you respond by saying that your possessive is the same (you are agreeing about possessives), then you say "Mine is too" or "so is mine". If what you are replying to is not about a possessive, you don't use a possessive.

A: My dog (a possessive) is black.
B: Mine (a possessive) is too. :tick: (So is mine).:tick:

A: I am the walrus. (NO possessive)
B: So is mine. :cross:
B: So am I. :tick: (NO possessive)

PS: 1. "Mine is too" means the same as "So is mine".
2. "I am too"means the same as "So am I".
The phrases in 1 do not mean the same as the phrases in 2.
Let us know if you still aren't sure of the difference between "I am too" and "Mine is too".
