Hello native English speakers. Question about the grammar and meaning of the group sentences trying to express the same meaning. (two sentences in reality) Thank you in advance. 1a. If he so wishes he can move his home together with himself， and in fact often does so. 1b. If he wishes so， he can move his home together with himself， and in fact he often does so. Note: I understand 1b by grammar and its meaning but not 1a. Why does the adverb “so” modify the verb “wish” here, I never find the example of such similar structure in the dictionary. Question: Which is grammatically correct? Do they have the same meaning? 2a. The president was quoted in the press as saying that he disagreed with the decision. 2b. The press quoted the president as saying that he disagreed with the decision. 2c. The press quoted the president saying that he disagreed with the decision. 2d. The press quoted the president who said that he disagreed with the decision. Question : Which is grammatically correct? Do they have the same meaning?

Hello native English speakers. 1a. If he so wishes he can move his home together with himself， and in fact often does so. 1b. If he wishes so， he can move his home together with himself， and in fact he often does so. 2a. 1. He so decided after checking all the data. 2b. 1. He decided so after checking all the data. 3a. I so hope you can get this job. 3b. I hope so--- you can get this job. Question: Which is grammatically correct? he so wishes = he wishes so ?? Is that right by meaning? I know that "so" as an adverb usually modifies adjectives or adverbs and is placed before them, for example: ...so many hours; We've worked so hard to get to this point. However, I have never seen "so" as an adverb directly modifying a verb and being placed before the verb it modifies. But today I came across a sentence above with such a structure. Is it grammatically correct, or how to explain it grammatically?
