If you want to say in English'yo tampoco!' by itself we use the expression 'me neither!' Followed by an affirmation such as 'yo tampoco quiero ir' or 'nosotros tampoco comemos gluten’, we cannot use 'neither'. We have to introduce the positive form 'either'. So for the aforementioned examples we'd say: 'I don't want to go either' and 'we don't eat gluten either'. We cannot use 'neither' when there is already a negation (not) in the sentence since 'neither' is a negation and we must not employ a double negative in a sentence in English. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any doubts!

COMMON ERROR FROM OUR SKYPE ENGLISH CLASSES: PREPOSITION OF TIME 'ON' USED WITH INDIVUDUAL DAYS SUCH AS HALLOWEEN
Many students in our Skype English classes say 'in Halloween' but we must use
the preposition of time 'on' for single days such as Halloween, all saints day,
Easter Monday, New Year's Eve or individual days such as the 13th of March or
Friday. So for instance we could say 'many children knock on my door on
Halloween' or 'on Friday I will go to a fireworks display'. Remember, 'on' is
for single or individual days. Please do not use 'in' for individual days. As a
time preposition 'in' is used with months (e.g. March), seasons (winter...) and
years (1978...). Please feel free to ask about this if you have any doubts.
Thanks!
