8. say so & tell sb so, instead of repeating information

e.g. Mary and John are getting married.  Peter told me so.

e.g. You’ve twisted your ankle.  You shouldn’t jump off walls.  I told you so.

10. so + hope, believe, understand, &c.

e.g. A: Is inflation going to come down? B: Oh, I hope so.

e.g. A: John and Peter are getting married.  B: So I heard.
