THE EXPLANATION
• An adjectives is word that describes a noun or pronoun. An adjective is a
word that gives more information about the noun that goes with it. It is a
part of speech. Often, the adjective is before the noun it describes.
• Yet, a noun phrase is a noun in which the modifier can come before or
after the noun. It can be a collection of words which form a noun by
explained by adjective.
A quantifier is a word that usually goes before a noun to express the quantity of the
object; for example, a little milk. Most quantifiers are followed by a noun, though it is
also possible to use them without the noun when it is clear what we are referring to
For example:
1. Do you want some coffee? – Just a little. (It’s clear that I mean ‘a little
coffee’.)
2. I need many things to say.
3. I could barely hit some points there.
So, what is so special about quantifier? Have a look at these two examples!
There are so many people that I can’t find which one my father is.
a. There was much water that I could swim.
Yes, it is the use of so-that but there’s noun “many people” and “much water” instead of
“adjective”.
IV. ATTENTION:
So….that………… is used with quantifiers (many, much, few, little etc.) even if there is a noun.
Examples:
1. I have so many friends that I never get bored.
2. He has so much money that he can buy whatever he wants.
V. CONCLUSION
From the explanation, it is clear that:
1. So is a followed either by adjective or quantifier with noun.
2. Such is always followed by noun or noun phrase.
3. So-that and such-that are correlative conjunctions to express cause and
effect.
