TRIK MENGERJAKAN SOAL SO ... THAT DAN SUCH ... THAT

So ... that
So digunakan ketika :
a) hanya ada satu kata diantara titik-titik dan that.
Karena penggunaan So adalah : So+adj/adverb+that. Sehingga apabila diantara titik-titik dan that hanya
ada satu kata, itu adalah adjective atau adverb. Sehingga harus kita jawab SO
Contoh : Purbalingga is SO wonderful THAT everyone wants to go there.

b) ada dua kata di antara titik-titik dan that sedangkan kata pertama adalah salah satu dari
many,much,few, dan little (determiner).
Karena penggunaan So adalah : So+determiner+noun+that. Sehingga apabila ada dua kata
diantara titik-titik dan that, sedangkan kata pertama adalah determiner, kita harus jawab SO.
Contoh : Mr. Nugroho has SO MANY birds THAT his house is so noisy.

Such ... that


Such digunakan ketika :
a) ada artikel "a" atau "an" diantara titik-titik dan that
Karena So tidak pernah memakai artikel, sehingga apabila terdapat artikel "a" atau "an" di antara titik-
titik dan that, kita harus jawab SUCH.
Contoh : Mr. Toha has SUCH A big stomach THAT He can't go everywhere.

b) ada dua kata di antara titik-titik dan that, sedangkan kata pertama bukan salah satu dari
many,much,few, dan little (determiner).
Karena penggunaan such adalah : Such+adverb/adjective+noun+that. Sehingga apabila terdapat dua
kata di antara titik-titik dan that, dan kata pertama bukan determiner, kata pertama itu pastilah
adjective/adverb. Sehingga kita harus jawab SUCH.
Contoh : Cheetah has SUCH long legs THAT It can run fast.

Bedanya Such a ... that dan Such ... that apa?

a) Such a .... that


digunakan apabila noun sebelum that adalah tunggal/singular.
Contoh : Mr. Toha has SUCH A big stomach THAT He can't go everywhere.

Noun sebelum that adalah Stomach yang merupakan noun tunggal, sehingga harus memakai SUCH A.

b) Such .... that


digunakan apabila noun sebelum that adalah jamak/plural.
Contoh : Cheetah has SUCH long legs THAT It can run fast.

Noun sebelum that adalah legs, yang merupakan noun jamak, sehingga harus memakai SUCH.
