Here is a chart that summarizes the differences between "so" and "such":
Word | Use | Example |
---|---|---|
So | Used before an adjective or adverb to indicate a degree or extent | He is so tall. |
Such | Used before a noun to indicate a type or quality of something | She has such a beautiful voice. |
"Such" is used to describe a specific quality or type of noun, while "so" is used to describe the degree or extent of an adjective or adverb. Here are some examples:
- She is such a talented musician.
- He speaks so fluently in French.
- The weather is such a nice day.
- She was so kind to me.
- That was such a great performance.
To help you practice using "so" and "such" correctly, here are some exercises:
- Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:
a) She is __ a great singer. (so/such) b) He speaks __ quickly in Spanish. (so/such) c) They had __ a good time at the party. (so/such) d) The book was __ boring that I fell asleep. (so/such) e) She has __ a beautiful smile. (so/such)

Example: The concert was such a great performance. The singer was so talented and had such a beautiful voice. The music was so energetic and got everyone dancing. The audience was so enthusiastic and cheered loudly after each song. It was such a memorable night that I will never forget.
I hope these exercises and examples help you understand the differences between "so" and "such" and how to use them correctly in English.
