Michelle: 我注意到很多英语学习者在使用“so”时会犯一个常见的错误。他们常常把“so”和“really”或者“very”混淆，认为它们可以互换使用。但实际上，“so”的语法规则是不同的。例如，他们可能会说“It is a so nice spa”，但这是不正确的。我想通过今天的讲解，帮助大家避免这个常见的错误。 Aubrey: 堆叠形容词，也称为累积形容词，指的是在名词前面使用多个形容词来增强表达效果。例如，当我们想表达一个spa非常好的时候，我们可以使用多个形容词来强调。但是，“so”的用法和其他的加强语有所不同。像“really”、“very”、“extremely”、“super”这些加强语，它们通常位于动词或冠词之后，用来强调后面的形容词。而“so”在使用时有特定的规则，需要特别注意。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the common mistake of using "so" as an intensifier like "very" or "really." It explains the correct grammatical usage of "so" as an intensifier, which must follow a verb, and provides examples of how to use it effectively in stacked adjectives for natural and dramatic English. It also emphasizes the importance of intonation and pronunciation when using stacked adjectives.
  • The word "so" as an intensifier must come directly after a verb.
  • Other intensifiers like "very," "really," and "extremely" can come before the adjective or after an article.
  • Using stacked adjectives adds emphasis and drama, but requires careful intonation to avoid sounding unnatural.
