So ready and willing to support English (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

therefore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ready and willing to support english' is the wordplay.
'ready and willing' becomes 'there' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' becomes 'for'.
'support' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'there'+'for'+'e'='THEREFORE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for therefore that I've seen before include "Ergo" , "Consequently - for that reason" , "In consequence" , "has a triangular formation in maths?" , "as result" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
