Key to SO,SUCH,TOO,ENOUGH



Hi there, have you found any problems yet? Hopefully not so many!
What was intended with these activities was to practice different alternatives. Some exercises were mainly focused on too/enough and others on such...that/so...that. Read carefully the headings (titles) that I've added to the activities here in the blog and rethink what you had previously written. If you think you should start them again, DO IT! It's better to do everything twice and correct than the opposite. Any questions or suggestions, I would be very pleased to answer them through the link named "comentarios." Good luck!
But first, here you have something to read.
Las partículas so/such ... that se utilizan para hacer oraciones con el significado de tan/tanto...que

SO se emplea con adjetivos (donde se incluyen much,many,little y few + sustantivos) y advebios. 


Por otra parte SUCH se emplea con sustantivos (se pondrá SUCH A/AN si el sustantivo es contable singular y SUCH solamente si el sustantivo es incontable o plural):


                        It was so cold that the river froze.
                        There were so many people that we could´t see.
                        He is such a fool that he doesn´t understand anything.
                        It was such a hot day that I took off my shirt.
