so, such
"So" and "such" are used to introduce the consequence, degree or extent of some fact or to emphasize.They can be used with the following structures, and in the following cases:
Next
01
so, such
1. Noun + verb + so + adjective/adverb/determiner (+ that clause)- My suitcase was so heavy that I couldn’t carry it.- She has travelled so widely that she’s forgotten what home is like.- It was so cold! (emphatic)
Next
01
so, such
1.1 So much + uncountable noun/so many + countable noun - There is so much beauty in nature - There are so many books on my reading list that I don't even know where to start.
Next
01
so, such
2. Such a/an + adjective + noun (+ that clause)- The bus took such a long time to come that I decided to walk instead.- He recommended such an interesting book that I couldn't put it down.- They had such a good time! (emphatic)
Next
01
so, such
3. Such + plural noun (countable or uncountable)- They are such nice guys.- They are such expensive shoes.o- They are such rich people.- The hotel provides such outstanding accommodation

so, such

BUT... What if we can use both?
01
so, such
***Realize 🧐 that using 'so' or 'such' isn't a matter of how it's said, but rather of what you intend to convey***- He is so nice -> Es un chico tan majo- He is such a nice guy -> Es un chico tan majo
Next
01
so, such
In this example, we see that both sentences mean the same thing. To determine whether to use "so" or "such," pay attention to whether you will place a noun after it or not.

02
too
"Too" is used to express something negative; the individual is not satisfied with the situation they find themselves in. The intensifier can be used with the following structure and in the following cases:
Next
02
too
Too + adjective/adverb/determiner (+noun) (+to infinitive) - It was too cold to sleep. - I’m speaking too quickly. I’m sorry! - That’s too much money. I can’t afford it.
Next
03
"Enough" has a positive meaning; the individual considers the situation as probable. Wait... how do we pronounce it? 🧐
Next
03
You got it: /ɪˈnʌf/ Next, we will explain its structures and different uses:
Next
03
1. Adjective/adverb + enough (+to infinitive) She’s rich enough to buy the whole town. You’re not doing the work carefully enough. There’s enough time for a coffee. Have you got enough money to call a taxi?
Next
03
2. Enough + noun - There is enough food for everyone at the party. - Do you have enough money to buy a ticket? - I don't have enough time to finish my homework. - She has enough experience to apply for the job.
Next
04
very + quite
We use 'very' to emphasize both positive and negative situations. Sometimes, we use it when we want to avoid a negative word. Similarly, we use the intensifiers 'really' or 'quite' in the vast majority of scenarios.
Next
04
very + quite
Very, quite, really + adjective/adverb/determiner (+noun)- It’s quite difficult but I think I can do it.- He’s working really hard – I’m sure he’ll pass the exam.- Very few people agree with her.
