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?
