結果狀語從句常由so… that 或 such…that引導，掌握這兩個句型，首先要了解so 和 such與其后的詞的搭配規律。

比較：so和 such

其規律由so與such的不同詞性決定。such 是形容詞，修飾名詞或名詞詞組，so 是副詞，只能修飾形容詞或副詞。 so 還可與表示數量的形容詞many, few, much, little連用，形成固定搭配。

so foolishsuch a fool

so nice a flowersuch a nice flower

so many / few flowers such nice flowers

so much / little money. such rapid progress

so many peoplesuch a lot of people

( so many 已成固定搭配，a lot of 雖相當于 many，但 a lot of 為名詞性的，只能用such搭配。)

so…that與such…that之間的轉換既為 so與such之間的轉換。

The boy is so young that he can’t go to school.

He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school
