Deep dives

Using 'so' and 'such' for emphasis

We can use 'so' before an adjective or an adverb to emphasize its intensity. For example, we can say 'This coffee is so good' or 'Finn speaks English so well.' On the other hand, we use 'such' before a noun to convey a high degree or intensity. For instance, 'There was such a long queue' or 'My holiday was such a disaster.' 'Such' is used without the indefinite article 'a' when the noun is uncountable, but with the article when the noun is countable. In addition, we can use 'such' with an adjective and a noun together, like 'Adele has such an amazing voice' or 'We had such good weather in Greece.'
