1."So do I."(a)

The original sentence uses present simple with a main verb ('enjoy'), so we respond with 'So do I.' — matching the auxiliary 'do' for present simple.

2."Neither do we."(b)

The original is a negative present simple sentence. We agree with a negative statement using 'Neither + do + subject'. Note the inverted word order: 'Neither do we', not 'Neither we do'.

3."So am I."(c)

'I'm hungry' uses 'be' as the main verb (am), so the response must also use 'am': 'So am I.' Don't use 'do' — there is no action verb here.

4."Neither is he."(a)

The original uses 'isn't' (be + not), so we match with 'Neither is he.' We use the same auxiliary — 'is' — not 'does'.

5."So does"(d)

'Tom likes' is third-person present simple. For a third-person subject (David), we need 'does': 'So does David.' Remember: he/she/it → does.
