Non plus in response to other statements?

All the examples listed for when "non plus" is the appropriate response for sentences that include "ne ... pas." I am curious if you can use "non plus" if the negative adverb is other than "ne ... pas"?

E.g., "Je ne vais jamais au cinéma." "Moi non plus"

Also, what if the statement is positive and you respond in negation? E.g., "J'aime la vanille" and I don't like vanilla. Do I say, "moi non plus," or is "moi non" the right response?

Thanks!

About pronunciation

In the audio example of «Mange dans ce restaurant ! Manges-y !»

I head something like

[mɑ-ã-dã ce rɛstorã. mɑ:Ʒ-zi:]

Can I have a comment on it?

A bit too correct

Question..What does ''Mon amie non plus.'' mean ?.. answer My friend neither.

“My friend too.“ Is given as a mistake.

.. maybe a bit too correct.. whilst my friend neither is grammatically correct, how many of us would actually say that? I think most would more often say “my friend too”.. meaning” my friend agrees with me!

Very Confused

Lesson: Nous trouvons que vous ....... trop de bruit. We think you make too much noise. I used the subjonctif of fassiez and you say it’s faites which doesn’t seem to be subjonctif. This notebook lesson doesn’t help with my issue. What do I have wrong? Thanks for your help.

Chez nous vs à la maison?

Could you use "chez nous" instead of "à la maison" to translate "home" ?

Use of sortir

In the tutorial Sortir can be used in the context of leaving. That is why I gave that option as a possible answer in the tick box. To avoid confusion the sentence in parenthesis should be removed.

Nous sortons juste du métro.We're just coming out of the metro.
(We're just leaving the metro.)

vieillir versus cueillir

Cueillir changes the 'ir' to 'er' before adding future endings, right?

and Vieillir keeps the 'ir' ending before the future ending.

Is there a list of regular 'ir verbs versus irregular 'ir verbs?

Thanks.
