very，so和too都可用来加强形容词、副词或much，many之类词语的含义，但它们的用法不尽相同。very 是最简单的强调词，除了表示强调没有其他含义。so可以表达说话者的情感反应，如高兴、惊讶或失望：John makes me so angry（约翰真是气死我了), Oh thank you so much（哦，非常感谢）。亦可用so与以that引导的结果从句连用：The procession was forced to move so slowly that he arrived three hours late（由于行进队伍被迫缓慢前进，结果他迟到了3个小时）。too表示数量过多或不尽如人意，常常导致没有或无法达到某一结果：She does wear too much make-up at times（她有时确实把妆化得太浓了），He was too late to save her（他来得太迟了，没能救得了她）。
