hello and welcome to another lesson here
at new English I’m Emma your English
confident coach and today I’m going to
be talking about two small but very
important and very common English words
so and such now these two words can be
used in a few different ways in English
sentences but in this lesson we’re going
to focus on how they can add emphasis to
your sentences so how we can make the
meaning stronger it’s such a nice day
yeah it’s so beautiful outside you
should really get out there often these
words have a meaning that is similar to
words like very and really in English
sentences so they help you to to make
the meaning of your sentence stronger
that dress is very beautiful that dress
is so beautiful he’s in a very bad mood
today
he’s in such a bad mood today so how do
you use these words effectively in
English sentences the word soul is used
with an adjective or an adverb it was so
windy yesterday
your brother can run so fast the word
such can be used with a noun or a noun
phrase for example it was such a windy
day yesterday
your brother is such a fast runner so
we’re using such with the noun but be
careful because a noun phrase can
actually include adjectives and adverbs
in it so you need to look carefully for
the noun
if you simply look at the word that is
following so or such you might make a
mistake so be careful I went to a
wedding last weekend and the bride wore
such a beautiful dress the dress was so
beautiful
now I’m going to give you some examples
to practice with the next sentence that
I read out I’m going to use the word so
and I want you to think about how you
can change that word slightly the
sentence slightly so that you can use
the word such instead ready he’s so
generous he’s so generous how can you
change it to use such you need a noun
he’s such a generous man or
guy he searched generous guy
another one New York is such a big city
got to swap it back now New York is such
a big city
how can you say that dependence using so
you need to change it New York is so big
another one that’s so unlucky
thanks so unlucky it’s a noun that’s
such bad luck luck is our noun that’s
such bad luck because I love you and
because I want you to practice what
you’ve learned here today I’ve made a
worksheet for you to download and
practice with you can get it from this
link up here I want you to actually use
what you’ve been practicing today but
don’t forget it yet there is one more
thing that I want to explain to you
about so now the word so that not such
can be used in front of these words so
much so many so little and so few now
all of these words are quantifiers and
they’re used with nouns in English
sentences so they help to tell us how
much of a noun there is the amount or
the quantity of that noun but I’ve just
taught you that you need to use such
with nouns so this is a bit of an
exception that you need to keep in line
for example there are so many people
here today you’ve had so much to drink
it’s incredible that there’s been so
little damage after the storm I’m
surprised that so few children turned up
today if you enjoyed this lesson make
sure you like it and share it with
anyone that you think could do with a
bit of extra help with their English
