I have seen all of the following variations being called correct in reliable sources:
1. Just as X, so Y (Just as you sow, so shall you reap.)
2. Just as X, Y (Just as she entered the room, there was a loud bang. OR Just as singing relieves stress, reading relieves..)
3. As X, so Y (As you sow, so shall you reap.)
4. As X, Y (As she entered the room, there was a loud bang.)
I need to find a simple rule of thumb to know when to you use "so" and when not to. I have figured out that "so" and "so too" are identical, and "just as" and "as" are identical. So it boils down to when to use "so" and when not to.
My theory is that "so" seems to mean "and therefore or as a consequence AND in a similar manner", while when "so" is dropped, it means either "at the same time or likewise" or "in a similar way". That is, without so, Y can't be a consequence of X. Is this true? Is this is the test for whether "so" should be added or not?
