So

Hi teachers,



Sergeant:


“Why don’t you go out to her place and she if she’s all right?”


Policeman:


“Who? Me? On a night like this?”


Sergeant:


“It’s not far. So, you’ve got your bike, haven’t you?”






In this conversation the word 'so' it's like a pause word. Like hmm, er, and um, it has no meaning.

But grammatically speaking what is 'so'? Is it an adverb, an adjective?



Tthanks in advance

Thanks for your help. the sentence was taken from a book, and I have to explain it to my students. Still don't know what is 'so' grammatically speaking.

I don't think it's necessary in this sentence...

'So' is used after a pause to give a clarification for an action like ' I took you're ball so I can play it with my friends.

or like ' They turned off lights so they can sleep'.
