Too, very, and so are all similar words, but they are used in different ways. Let’s take a look at the differences!
Too is used with an adjective to talk about something that is problematic or excessive. It means “more than it should be”. It always has a negative meaning, and is used with negative adjectives like “expensive” or “tired”.
Examples:
Those shoes are too expensive! (The shoes are MORE expensive than they should be)
I am too tired to go to the party tonight. (I am MORE tired than I should be)
Too can also be used with much / many.
Examples:
I ate too much food!
There were too many people at the beach.
Very is also used to make an adjective stronger, but it doesn’t have a negative meaning.
Examples:
It was very hot yesterday.
The exam was very difficult.
Very can also be used with nouns, unlike too and so.
Examples:
Tomorrow will be a very cold day.
Maria is a very beautiful girl.
So is similar to too, and can be used with positive or negative adjectives. So is often used with “that”. Ex: The party was so fun that I stayed for hours.
Examples:
The park is so far from my house.
I am so happy that you came!
