so…that…
so...that和such...that的意思均为“如此……以致……”,都用来引导结果状语从句。但二者用法不尽相同,现归纳如下:
l so...that结构中的so为副词,后面跟形容词或副词;such...that中的such为形容词,后面接名词 (名词前可以有形容词或副词修饰)。例如:
He became ______ angry that he couldn't speak.
It was _______ a fine day that we went out for a walk.
当that前的名词有表示数量多少的many, much, few, little等修饰时,只能用so,不能用such。例如:
There was so much noise outside that we couldn't hear the teacher.
He had so many falls that he was black and blue all over.
注意:若名词前的little解释为“小(的)”意思时,则仍用such, 而不能用so。例如:
It is such a little sheep that it can't run fast.
l 当that前是单数可数名词且该名词前面有形容词修饰时,so与such可以互换,
即:so+adj.+a/an+n.=such+a/an+adj.+n.。例如:
She is so good a teacher that we all love her.=She is such a good teacher that we all love her.
l 当that前是不可数名词或复数可数名词时,则必须用such,不能用so来代替。例如:It was such fine weather that they all went swimming.
They are such nice apples that we would like to eat them.
