I know I'm SO a good teacher, right? No! I'm SUCH a good teacher! Today we're doing the differences between SO and TOO including very, really, and a few other things There is a test at the end of this video, so stay for that. Also make sure you have a pen and a piece of paper Let's begin "Very" is easy, it's 'more than normal' so you want to say "Wow! This thing is more than normal!" "She is VERY pretty" or "she's... "she's REALLY pretty" REALLY is more common to say than VERY But just know that they're basically the same thing She's very pretty, she's really pretty but when this guy says "Wow she's SO pretty" that adds some emotion to his sentence "WOW! she's pretty" It's a bit stronger than VERY or REALLY With "Very", "Really", and "So" the next word can be an adjective like "pretty" or an adverb like... This time they're talking about how well she speaks French This guy, more than normal, "She speaks very well" This guy, "Oh my God, Wow! She speaks...Wow!" "She speaks SO well" "So", "Very", "Really" with an adjective or an adverb How about a noun? Let's add a noun to this. "Girl", that's a noun We cannot use "So" with a noun we have to change it she's such a smart girl "Such" and "So" mean the same thing But "so" for adjectives and adverbs "Such" for nouns That is an adjective but this describes the noun, right? because of that we need "Such" Let's imagine you go to a shop, you want to buy some new jeans but there's no price "Excuse me, how much are these jeans?" £500? What! What? We know that "so" adds some emotion some "Wow that is a lot of that thing!" So maybe he will say... "Wow they're expensive" "They are SO expensive!" This guy however, he will say "TOO" So what is the difference between them? "TOO" means it's excessive, it's more than you want, more than you like maybe it's impossible to do this thing now That's why "too" might seem bad in some situations So, the difference He is saying "wow they are SO expensive" but maybe he has enough money it's still a lot of money but he has enough this guy however "Maybe I don't have enough money", or "It's more money than I want to spend" That's why he says "too" "too expensive" I've heard students say "wow it's it's too cheap, it's too cheap!" They think it's that's a good thing it's "wow cheap cheap cheap!" But If I hear "TOO cheap" I'm thinking "Hmm TOO cheap"? There must be a problem with that thing The student should have said "wow it's so cheap" another example let's say you want to put on some makeup so you try No. That's more than we need That's too much! That's too much makeup So you try again now your friend thinks you're crazy What is more than "too much"? you can add emphasis by adding... That's WAY too much! That's FAR too much WAY and FAR add emphasis It's more than 'TOO MUCH' Dude, this is a ridiculous amount of makeup if I were a girl, that's probably what I would do I'm not that smart now one thing about this is, we used "too MUCH" why "too MUCH"? because "makeup" is a noun an uncountable noun with uncountable nouns you'll put "TOO MUCH + uncountable noun" "That's WAY TOO MUCH makeup" Honestly this will probably be me very soon because I eat too many donuts it's excessive it's more than I need notice I used "too MANY" not "too MUCH" too MANY because "Donuts" is a noun but it's a countable noun so with countable nouns, too MANY If we change the noun to "Food" that's an uncountable noun. Now it's... Too MUCH food I eat too MANY donuts You know what, I'm not sorry, they're delicious! Okay final one, we'll put everything we've learnt into this one example This student has a test he opens his test, looks at the questions and thinks... "Wow this is harder than normal" What will he say? He just wants to say "more than normal" just that "This is VERY hard" Remember he could also say "This is REALLY hard" and again REALLY is more common, I use REALLY more than VERY So "Really", more common to use Further into the test he sees "Oh my god this is... wow this is hard!" Wow! This is hard! What can he say? This is SO hard! "SO" it adds emphasis, it adds emotion It adds that WOW to this adjective or adverb Now we add a noun remember with a noun how do we change it? SUCH a hard test! "This is SUCH a hard test! Oh my god!" Again SO and SUCH, they mean the same thing but such is with a noun and remember to use the article if it needs one this time he wants to say "No! This test is impossible!" Not SO hard, but... Too "This is TOO hard! I'm leaving!" So next time you want to say "She's TOO beautiful" or "It's TOO cold" Maybe you want to say she's SO beautiful it's SO cold just be careful which one you mean okay test time On your paper write: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) I'm going to give you an example sentence You have to decide is it TOO or SO? Number 1) In that example, you couldn't understand me because Which one do you think? Why? it was faster than you could understand making it impossible therefore TOO fast Number 2) I watch Game of Thrones But I don't like how many people die in Game of Thrones I'm going to stop watching TOO many people are dying! I don't like it! I'm not going to watch anymore! Bye bye Game of Thrones! oh no no Game of Thrones til I die! Number 3) Wow I can understand him but he speaks very very fast Wow Remember I can understand him so it's not TOO fast or TOO quickly Number 4) Ugh! Tired! I can't stay awake anymore! I must sleep now "Tired" is the adjective Of course I am TOO tired! No! I can't stay awake anymore! I'm TOO tired and finally number 5) "Wow, this lesson was good! Wow! Good!" "I learned a lot!" Wow! Good! if you agree, write "This lesson was SO good!" in the comments! If you got everything correct You are amazing!
