English Language & Usage Asked by Aurel on May 22, 2021
The following examples of conjunction reduction sound wrong to me; are they grammatically correct?
The meat is red, so is raw. [The meat is red, so it is raw.]
The fish is pink, so is a salmon. [The fish is pink, so it is a salmon.]
Maybe my discomfort comes from the proximity with this other "so" (adverb) construction:
The meat is red, so is the wine.
The fish is pink, so is the rose.
