So

SOH/səʊ/

Very, or a result: I am so tired. It was late, so we took a taxi. Too also means “very” in too tired (more than is good); so tired is strong but not always “too much.” Sew and sow are different verbs with similar sounds.

Meaning

Very; or used to show a result.

Examples

“I am so tired. It was late, so we took a taxi.”
“The bag was so heavy I stopped.”
“It started to rain, so we went in.”

Good to know

so + adjective (very). Clause + so + result. Contrast: too (excess).
