So 1- very; extremely: ex: I’m so glad to see you. We have so much to do. Their attitude is so very English. The article was just so much (= nothing but) nonsense. 2- used to show the size, amount or number of sth: ex: The fish was about so big (= said when using your hands to show the size). There are only so many (= only a limited number of) hours in a day. 3- used to refer back to sth that has already been mentioned: ex: ‘Is he coming?’ ‘I hope so.’ ‘Did they mind?’ ‘I don’t think so.’ 4- also: ex: Times have changed and so have I. ‘I prefer the first version.’ ‘So do we.’ 5- used to agree that sth is true, especially when you are surprised: ex:‘You were there, too.’ ‘So I was—I’d forgotten.’ ‘There’s another one.’ ‘So there is.’ 6- used when you are showing sb how to do sth or telling them how sth happened: ex: Stand with your arms out, so. (literary) So it was that he finally returned home.
