Complex Sentence
I love to learn, especially about physics and maths, probably because I know the basics of them, so I just want to know more and more.
Is so a coordinating conjunction joining the main clause to the right of 'so' to the rest of the sentence to the left of 'so'? Or is it just joining part of the sentence to the left to the rest of the right?
Do you think is a poor sentence, with so being used here?
Thanks

My 2 cents worth.... " is unnecessary. I would think the sentence sounds and flows better without it.

Based on an observer's poin of view, I personally think the subordinate clause: "so I just want to know more and more." is unnecessary. I would think the sentence sounds and flows better without it. But I couldn't say it is "a poor choice" however.

How is it a subordinate clause, Dim?
I understand it is superfluous, but please just assume it is necessary.

English 1b3,
If you are asking for an opinion, I gave you one as an observer, whether you agree with it or not; and I may be right or I may be wrong. ".......So I just want to know more and more."
This looked to me like a subordinate clause as it appeared to be an incomplete thought without the main clause.
If you disagree, just pret

Would it be ok?

My opinion: The original has too many parts. It would sound fine spoken, because the speaker is clearly enthusiastic about learning, but in writing, it tumbles all over the page.
If you change the ", because" to something more like "This is probably because ..." and carry on (with your "so") you'll be better.
I wouldn't use "but" because it's a contrast word, and you want to exp
