Substitution and Omission: So (Clause Substitution)

So can act as a substitute for an adjective, adverb, or a whole clause if we don’t want to be overly repetitive:

 

Richard was enraged at his brother’s stupidity and he had every right to be so. (= to be enraged)

Elon considered the suggestion seriously and Helen even more so. (= even more seriously)

Mike’s going to be there. At least I presume so. (= that he is going to be there)

Substitution and Omission: Such / Do

Do so (did so / doing so, etc.) is used instead of repeating a verb phrase when it is clear from the context what we’re talking about.

Substitution and Omission: One / Ones

We use one as a substitute for a singular countable noun and ones for a plural noun when we don’t want to be overly repetitive and when it is clear from the context what we are talking about.

Substitution and Omission: Leaving out Words After Auxiliaries

An auxiliary verb (be, have, can, will, would, etc.) can be used instead of a whole verb group or instead of a verb in order to avoid repeating words from a previous clause.
