"Me too" is a REALLY useful phrase! It is the perfect casual way to say that you can also do, own, want to do or did something.
CAN DO:
A: I can swim.
B: I can swim too. = I can too. = Me too.
DID SOMETHING:
A: I went to Canada.
B: I went to Canada too. = I did too. = Me too.
WANT TO DO SOMETHING:
A: I want to go to Fiji.
B: I want to go to Fiji too. = I do too. = Me too.
OWN SOMETHING:
A: I have an ipod.
B: I have an ipod too. = I have one too. = Me too.
So you can see the the most formal is the longest sentence, standard level of politeness is a bit shorter and really casual is the magical ME TOO!
Please remember this is ONLY use when you ALSO want to do, did, own or can do something. So a positive with a positive.
If it is a positive + with a negative - then you have:
A: I can swim. +
B: I can't swim = I can't. -
If it is a negative - with a positive +:
A: I don't have a car. -
B: I have a car. = I do. +
BUT if it is a negative - AND a negative - then you get:
A: I don't want to go to work. -
B: I don't want to go to work either. = I don't either. = Me neither. -
So for positive + and positive + in casual situations use ME TOO and for negative - and negative - situations use ME NEITHER!
