It would make more sense to say "He spoke to me so proudly." Or, "He seemed very proud while speaking to me."

Hope this helps.

He talked to me ______. What you want is an adverb. You're modifying how he talked to you. Aka you're modifying the verb.

It would be wrong to say: He talked to me so proud so proud. So has multiple uses; two of which are adverb and conjunction.

Most likely you want: He talked to me so proudly.

Let's examine this sentence.

He (subject) talked (verb) to me (to is a preposition and me is an indirect object) so ...

"So" is an adverb; it modifies the verb talked.

Your error is that you're trying to modify an adverb with an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.

What you need is an adverb. Change proud to proudly and the sentence is fixed.

This means he talked to you proudly. Like I said proudly modifies an adverb which modifies an verb. So it is changing how an action is done.

Personally I don't like the word so. I'm not sure but it may be used wrong.

Instead of saying "He talked to me so proudly", you can write "He talked to me proudly".

This is why you never hear someone say He talked to me so upsettingly. <-- Is that a real word? According to dictionary.com its the adverb of upset. I personally never heard someone use that word form of upset.

Can anyone verify?

I rather use this: He dejectedly talked to me.

Wait does what make sense? He talked to me in a proud way,or he talked to me with proud.

He had pride in what he was talking to you about.
