USING SO AND REALLY TO MAKE WORDS STRONGER
Use so before adjectives to make them stronger. Use really before some verbs to make them stronger, for example: like, love, don’t like, need (to), want (to), have to.
Elisa I really like this fish, Dan. It’s so good!
Elisa I’d like a large iced tea. It’s so hot today!
Read the information in the box above about making words stronger. What adjectives does Elisa use with so? What verb does she use with really?
Listen to a conversation. What does the man ask for?
Listen again. What words does he use after so and really?
