Doubt... Help!
|
|
Hello!
I have a doubt. Can I answer this question using I �m too ou I should use "I am too"?:
A: We �re here for the concert. How about you?
B: Yeah, I �m too.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Even though I �m sure it �s grammatically wrong I have heard native speakers saying "Me too." in such cases. It �s not correct, but it �s still said like that by some native speakers!!
Hope you �ll get more useful answers soon. ;))
Best wishes - Silke

Thanks for your reply but I have to choose between: I �m too or I am too to complete a grammar exercise. |

In your first post you didn �t mention that you only have these 2 possibilities to choose from. ;)) And I consider none of them correct, BUT would go for the first one (I�m too.) if I had no other choice.
Since I �m a non-native speaker let �s wait for one of our native "experts" to answer this question. --- Lindsey, where are yooooouuu??  |

Nothing wrong with the usage �me too � - it �s commonly used in spoken English. Using �I am too � is definitely better than �I �m too � (although I �m sure even this might raise a few eyebrows in a concert queue - depending on the band, of course :)).
Regards,

As Topolina and Almaz have said, most native speakers would say �Me too � - grammatically inaccurate as the reply shoud be �I am too � i.e. �I am here for the concert as
well. �
I �m too � would only be used if you conclude the sentence e.g. �I �m too warm; please open the window. � �I �m too tired to go out tonight. � |

I would say "I am too". I would use I �m too busy. I �m too tired. But I never say I �m too as an agreement or as a stand alone statement. |

I doubt you �d ever see it written by a native speaker as "I �m, too", nor would they say that �s what they were saying. However, to someone who was not fluent in English, I can imagine that hearing someone say "I am, too" at the speed of normal speech could sound like "I �m, too".

Me too is not grammatically incorrect - it is perfectly correct, as is I am too and So am I.
