Catherine's Grammar Explanation: So and Such:

Catherine: Well done Vittorio! Helen really enjoyed the food. The ice-cream was
so good that she ordered a second bowl and it was such good coffee that she had 2
cups.
We can use so and such with that to express cause and effect, or reason and result.
When Helen says:
Helen: The ice-cream was so good that I ordered a second bowl.
The good ice-cream is the cause or reason for her ordering a second bowl which is
the effect or result.
Now when we use so with that, so is often followed by an adjective. Listen to
Helen:
Helen: The ice-cream was so good that I ordered a second bowl.
Did you hear the adjective? She said 'so good that.' Listen again:
Helen: The ice-cream was so good that I ordered a second bowl.
But such is often followed by an adjective and a noun. Here's Helen again:
Helen: they make such good coffee that I had a second cup.
Did you hear it? Such with an adjective - good – and coffee is the noun. Such good
coffee. The result of the good coffee is that she had a second cup – Use that to
introduce the result.
Listen one more time:
Helen: they make such good coffee that I had a second cup.
Now 'coffee' is uncountable, so you don't need to use 'a or 'an'. But if you use a
countable noun, like 'restaurant, you would say something like 'It's such a good
restaurant that I go there twice a week.'
Ok, that's so with an adjective, and such with an adjective and noun. After both of
them, use 'that' to give the result.
Ok, that's all from me. Good luck with your grammar challenge!
