such & so

such 和 so 都可以表示程度，含有“如此、这/那样、这/那么”的意思，但它们在用法上有一定区别。

• such 为形容词，一般修饰名词
• so 为副词，一般修饰形容词或副词

such 用法

1. such + a/an + 可数名词单数
   • All of us have never seen such an animal before.
   • He said he would rather be poor than get money in such a way.
2. such + a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数
   • She is such a good teacher just as we expect.
   • I really thank you for giving such an exciting party.
3. such + 可数名词复数
   • Such things often happen in our daily life.
   • I don’t think such people are dangerous.
4. such + 形容词 + 可数名词复数
   • He told us such funny stories that we all couldn’t help laughing.
   • He’s amazed to see such beautiful fishes under the sea.
5. such + 不可数名词

6. such + 形容词 + 不可数名词

so 用法

1. so + 形容词/副词

   • He spoke so fast that I couldn’t follow.
2. so + 形容词 + a/an + 可数名词单数
   • He’s so kind a man that everybody here likes him.
   • It’s so easy an exercise that every one of us can do it.

   这种句式可以和 such + a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数换用：

   • I’ve never seen so amusing a film. = I’ve never seen such an amusing film.
3. so + many/much/few/little + 可数名词复数/不可数名词
   • There are so many visitors in our school today.
   • I have eaten so much food. I don’t want to eat any more.

   so many 已成固定搭配，a lot of 虽相当于 many，但 a lot of 为名词性的，只能用 such 搭配。

   • I feel very happy that I have such a lot of friends.
