    CAUSE AND EFFECT

    “so…that” vs “such…that”

    Both “so…that” and “such…that” are used to show cause and effect. There are some similarities and
    differences of them, such as:
     having the same meaning as each other in a sentence
     used to explain the result or to explain an opinion about something (which are mentioned before)
     used to express both the cause and the result/effect of a situation in a sentence
     having differences in their use in the sentence

    1. “So…that”

    We can use “so” with “adjectives/adverbs + that” to state the cause explaining the result/effect. In
    addition, it is also used to indicate that something happens at extreme points. However, while using
    “that” is optional, we cannot use ”very” to replace “so”.

    Pattern:
    So + Adjective/Adverb + That + Result

    Examples:
     My child’s room was so untidy (that) he could not find anything he was looking for.  with
    adjective
     This machine works so loudly (that) I have a headache.  with adverb

    We can also use “so” with quantifiers (many/few/much/little) + “that” to explain the result. However,
    using “that” is optional.

    Pattern:
    So + many/few + Plural Countable Nouns + That + Result
    So + much/little + Uncountable Nouns + That + Result

    Examples:
     The child had so many toys (that) he could not decide which to play.
     She has so few friends (that) she always spends her time watching TV at home.
     He eats so much sugar (that) he may be diabetic.

    2. “Such … That”

    We can use “such” with “adjective + noun + that” to explain the result. It is also used to express
    extreme feelings or an opinion about something. Different from “so…that”, we should add noun after
    the adjective following the word “such”.

    Pattern:
    Such + Adjective + Noun + That + Result

    Examples:
     She has such beautiful eyes (that) I can’t take my eyes off her.
     It was such a good movie (that) many people watched it.
     It was such an expensive restaurant (that) I decided not to go there anymore.
    Exercise:

    A. Complete the sentences below using “so” or “such” carefully!


    1. The bread is … cheap that Alanis chooses to buy it.
    2. It took … much time to ask you that we lost our patience.
    3. This is …a beautiful moment that I want to capture everything in my camera.
    4. Amara works … quickly that her boss promotes her as a manager.
    5. She is … an adorable girl that none will ever get angry to her.
