Even more intense!
I'm so going to learn this grammar!
So in Activity 1 we covered a lot of the basic uses of the intensifiers: so, such, too and enough. But, as you know, English isn't always that simple. It's time to learn some extra tips and tricks.
Intense point 1) So + noun or verb
In modern spoken English, so is increasingly being used before nouns and verbs.
- That dress is so last year! (That dress is last year’s fashion.)
- I’m so going to shout at him when I see him! (so = really)

Intense point 2) So/such + that for cause and effect
So and such can be used with a that clause to express cause and effect, or reason and result.
- She felt so upsetthat she started to cry.
- They had such an awful timethat they said they’d never go again.
That introduces the result. But in informal English, we sometimes leave it out.
- It was such a bad film he left before the end.
- There were so many restaurants they didn’t know which one to choose.
Intense point 3): too with negative
If we say a sentence with too in the negative form, then we mean it isn’t a problem. The form is not + too + adjective.
- It’s not too late to buy tickets for the final. There are still some on sale.
