Intensifiers are words like so, such, too and enough. Learn how to use these important words correctly in our grammar activities!
I'm so going to learn this grammar!
So in Activity 1 we covered a lot of the basic uses of the intensifiers: so, such, too and enough. But, as you know, English isn't always that simple. It's time to learn some extra tips and tricks.
Intense point 1) So + noun or verb
In modern spoken English, so is increasingly being used before nouns and verbs.
- That dress is so last year! (That dress is last year’s fashion.)
- I’m so going to shout at him when I see him! (so = really)

Intense point 2) So/such + that for cause and effect
So and such can be used with a that clause to express cause and effect, or reason and result.
- She felt so upset that she started to cry.
- They had such an awful time that they said they’d never go again.
That introduces the result. But in informal English, we sometimes leave it out.
- It was such a bad film he left before the end.
- There were so many restaurants they didn’t know which one to choose.
Intense point 3): too with negative
If we say a sentence with too in the negative form, then we mean it isn’t a problem. The form is not + too + adjective.
- It’s not too late to buy tickets for the final. There are still some on sale.
