SO AND SUCH

My friend Marivy very kindly gave me these exercises from her blog. Let's practise!


So and such


These ‘intensifiers’ are used to give emphasis.


A. So is used before:

1. adjectives and adverbs without nouns.
Ex: I’m so tired. I’ll have to go to bed.
2. much, many, little, few
Ex: You shouldn’t eat so much, Jack.

B. Such is used with or without an adjective before:

1. singular countable nouns ( the indefinite article a/an is also needed).
Ex: She’s got such a wonderful voice.
2. uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns (the article is not needed).
Ex: Our neighbors are such friendly people.

C. So and such can both be used with a that clause to talk about the results or consequences.

Ex: It was such a boring place that we decided to leave.
Ex: It was raining so hard we had to stop the car.
