PET - SO and SUCH

Theory:

SO is used to emphasise an adjective, and is alway used without a noun.
SUCH is used in the same way, but is always used with a noun.
- This apple is SO SWEET.
- This is SUCH a sweet APPLE.

SO and SUCH are used with THAT to give justification.
- This apple is SO SWEET THAT I will have another one.
- This is SUCH a sweet APPLE THAT I will have another one.

SO can also be used with MUCH and MANY.
SO MUCH for NON COUNTABLE nouns.
SO MANY for COUNTABLE nouns.
- There is SO MUCH PAINT (non countable).
- There are SO MANY ANIMALS (countable).

SUCH MUCH and SUCH MANY don't exist.

SO and SUCH are often used in PET sentence transformations.
