SO + ADJECTIVE/ADVERB
We use this to make exclamations or to express a superlative idea (that the quality of the adjective/adverb is present in a very big degree).
Exclamation: So big = wow, It's incredible !
You're so beautiful !
That tree is so tall !
This song is so cool, I love it !
Where were you? It's so late ! High degree: so big = very very big.
I like her because she's so nice
The box was so heavy that we had to call some friends to help us move it
Why do you talk so slowly?
It can also be used as an emphasizer with: much, many, few, little
Thanks, that's so much better
There were so many people that we couldn't enter
But that's so little !
SUCH A + (ADJECTIVE) + NOUN
It expresses the same idea as SO, but it is used with nouns (with or without a companion adjective)
The house is so big = It's such a big house
I've never met such a nice person
You'll never see such a beautiful flower again
You've got such strange friends
When we use SUCH for exclamations, we can use SUCH + Noun, but it is much more common to use SUCH + Adjective + Noun:
She is such a girl (correct, but not common)
She is such a nice girl (correct and common)
Such or Such a ?
We can only use the article A with countable singular nouns, so that is the rule, if you can use A you use it, if you can't, well, you don't:
a nice house - such a nice house (cont. sg)
a big tree - such a big tree (cont. sg)
beautiful flowers - such beautiful flowers (cont. pl.)
some pretty girls - such pretty girls (cont. pl.)
good wine - such good wine (uncont.)
bad weather - such bad weather (uncont.)
