So and Such

So and Such

A/ • I didn't enjoy the book. The story was so stupid.

We use so + adjective/adverb: so stupid / so quick/ so nice/ so quickly

• I didn't enjoy the book. It was such a stupid story.

We use such + noun:

Such a story / such people
We use such + adjective + noun:

such a stupid story / such nice people

Note that we say such a..... (not 'a such...')

B/ So and such make the meaning of an adjective (or adverb) stronger:

• It’s a lovely day, isn't it? It's so warm. (= really warm)

• He’s difficult to understand because he speaks so quickly.

Compare so and such in these sentences:

• I like Tom and Ann. They are so nice.

You can use so...that...:

• The book was so good that I couldn't put it down.

• I was so tired that I fell asleep in the armchair.

You can leave out that in sentences like this:

• I was so tired (that) I fell asleep.

• We enjoyed our holiday. We had such a good time. (= a really good time)

• I like Tom and Ann. They are such nice people, (not 'so nice people')

You can use such...that...:

C/ We also use so and such with the meaning 'like this':

• I expected the weather to be much cooler. I didn't expect it to be so warm.

• I'm tired because I got up at 6 o'clock. I don't usually get up so early.

• I didn’t realise it was such an old house

. • The house was so untidy. I've never seen such a mess. (= a mess like this)

Note the expression no such...:

• You won't find the word 'blid' in an English dictionary because there is no such word. (= this word does not exist)

D/ We say: so long but such a long time:

• I haven't seen her for so long I've forgotten what she looks like.

so far but such a long way:

• I didn't know it was so far.

so much, so many but such a lot (of):

• Why did you buy so much food?

• I haven't seen her for such a long time. (Not 'a so long time')

• I didn't know it was such a long way.

• Why did you buy such a lot of food?
