Sore to appears only in spoken Japanese. It is often used when the speaker
wants to add an item or statement which she has forgotten to mention.
[Related ~x~ressions]
I. Sore ni is similar to sore to in that both introduce an additional item or
statement. The crucial difference is that sore ni is used when the pre-
ceding clause I phrase and the following clause I phrase are closely con-
nected while sore to is used when this connection is weak. Therefore,
sore ni cannot be used when the speaker adds an item or statement
which she has forgotten to mention.

On the other hand, sore to cannot be used when the preceding clause
or phrase has a continuative ending such as {V I Adj. I N + Cop.)te,
Vrnasu, Adj(i)ku, and S shi, as in [2] - [5].
