Understanding 'So' and 'Such'

'So' is used to emphasize adjectives and adverbs, as seen in examples like 'This coffee is so good' and 'He speaks English so well.' It can also precede a noun in contemporary usage, such as 'so last year' to indicate something is outdated. In contrast, 'such' is typically used with nouns, like in 'such a long queue' or when it combines with adjectives and nouns together, as in 'such an amazing voice.' The distinctions help clarify the degree of intensity or quality being conveyed in a sentence.
