Grammar question: Yes vs. So Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:05 am  Grammar question: Yes vs. So
 

PLease read:

1.Do you think he'll go there? If yes, please...
2.Do you think he'll go there? If so, please...

I think (1) and (2) have the same meaning. Am I right?

I'd also say both mean the same thing. Wink

BUT
I suspect that native speakers might disagree as to whether both are correct. Cool

(Personally, I think both yes and so are OK in the sentence given. But I also think so works a bit more naturally with a sentence such as "I think he'll go." ) Wink

They mean the same, and are both correct.
But So is more suitable, it flows better.
