Can we use too in negative sentences.

John wasn't at home, and Tim wasn't too.

I though only "either" was used in negative sentences

Hi,

You're right, 'too' is not normally used here.

In addition to 'either', you could say 'neither John nor Tom was at home'.

Best wishes, Clive

Or: John wasn't at home, and neither was Tim.
