Hello Ashfaq!

We use too for positive sentences and neither for negative sentences:

A: I like football.     S: Me too!
A: I don't like baseball      S: Me neither!
 
But be careful! Even when the meaning is not good, if the grammar is positive, we still use too:
 
A: I hate shopping!       S: Me too!
And even if the meaning is good, but the grammar is negative (uses not), we use neither:

A: I don't mind waiting!      S: Me neither!
 
Hope that helps!

 At the end of this language focus the teacher says "I do like football" (min 02.50). Why does he use the auxiliary "do"?  I would say "I like football".
Thanks

Hello Stephanie,
I agree that it's normal to say 'I like football' without the word 'do'. However, Rob says this after saying 'I don't like fish' so the word 'do' is there to emphasise that he's changing from talking about something he doesn't like to something he does like. It's not essential, but it helps to make it clearer.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes,
