Episode notes
Avoid "So" After Indefinite Articles
- Avoid using "so" as an intensifier right after an indefinite article like "a" or "an".
- Use "very," "really," or "extremely" instead for stacking adjectives after an article.
Placement of "So" as Intensifier
- "So" must come directly after a verb to function as an intensifier.
- Intensifiers like "really" or "very" are more flexible in placement than "so."
Stacked Adjectives Add Drama
- Stacked adjectives can be used to intensify feelings about both positive and negative situations.
- Adding multiple intensifiers makes your speech more dramatic and expressive.
