Because and so

We talked about "so" as a conjunction (connecting word) today because the word "so" was on the goal form.

People also use "so" (as an adverb) before an adjective (describing word) to make it really strong.  
He is so handsome = He is very handsome.
So = very is common for speaking, but you should use "very" when you are writing.
(Please use "so" for writing on this blog, so I can see that you can do it correctly!)

Some people say, "so" before they change topics when they are speaking.

So as a connecting word:


Examples: because or so? (from LearnEnglishfeelgood.com)

Quiz: because vs. so (from a4esl.org)


SO as an adverb that means VERY



Why are you taking English class?
      (example answer:  I'm taking English so I can get a better job.)

Write about something you like.  Why do you like it?
      (example answer:  I like coffee because it tastes delicious and it gives me energy.)

Write about something that makes you SO happy!
      (My daughter makes me so happy because she is friendly, helpful, creative, and works hard.)
