1. ​Using "Such""Such" is used before nouns or noun phrases. It describes the intensity or degree of something, but unlike "so," it requires a noun or noun phrase.
      1. "Such" + Adjective + Noun:
        • Structure: such + adjective + noun
        • Example: It was such a great presentation.
        • Explanation: "Such" modifies the noun "presentation" with the adjective "great."
      2. "Such" + Noun (without an adjective):
        • Structure: such + noun
        • Example: They are such professionals.
        • Explanation: "Such" modifies the noun "professionals."
      3. "Such" + That Clause (for emphasis):
        • Structure: such + adjective + noun + that + clause
        • Example: It was such a long meeting that everyone was exhausted.
        • Explanation: "Such" emphasizes the noun phrase "a long meeting," and "that" introduces the result.
      4. "Such" with Uncountable Nouns:
        • Structure: such + uncountable noun
        • Example: The team showed such patience.
        • Explanation: "Such" emphasizes the uncountable noun "patience."

      Summary:
      • "So" is used with adjectives and adverbs to emphasize degree: "so difficult," "so quickly."
      • "Such" is used with nouns or noun phrases to describe something intensely: "such a good idea," "such professionals."
      Both can be used to show cause and effect with a "that" clause: "so...that," "such...that."
