Positive Elliptic
If in a positive sentence we find the same predicate, then we should use the word "too" or "so" which means "well"

(= He is busy and I am too)(= He is busy and so am I)

ellipsis Eliminate the subject and or Auxiliary / Capital 1) Mr. Hunt ate a piece of bread for breakfast
and (he) drank a cup of coffee. (= Word "he" should be eliminated because it does not need to rehash the subject)
2. My servant has swept the floor, (my servant has) washed the dishes, and (my servant has) cooked our lunch. (= "My servant has" always repeated. Therefore, should be omitted)
3. To save the time, you should clean the house and Mary (should) cook the meal.
