Question

Is the word "so" an adjective? ex: That dress was sooooooooooooooo fabulous.

Answer 1

It is an adverb. See explanation.

Explanation:

An adjective modifies a noun.

Example:

I read an interesting book yesterday.

In this sentence word interesting modifies the noun book, so it is an adjective.

An adverb can modify either a verb or an adjective.

Examples:

• an adverb modifying a verb: I went quickly to the kitchen. - Adverb quickly modifies the verb went.

• an adverb modifying an adjective: The book was so boring, that I fell asleep just after a few pages. - the adverb so modifies the adjective boring.

In the given sentence word so modifies the adjective fabulous, therfore it is an adverb.
