So / Such



1️⃣ Introduction: Understanding the Difference

👉 Explain:

  • SO + adjective/adverb → "so beautiful," "so quickly"
  • SUCH + noun phrase → "such a beautiful place," "such an interesting story"

🔹 Example:

  • The movie was so exciting.
  • It was such an exciting movie.

🎯 Activity: Guess the Rule

  1. Write 5-6 sentences with "so" and "such" on the board but leave blanks.
  2. Let students fill in the blanks based on patterns.
  3. Discuss why they chose "so" or "such."

2️⃣ Guided Practice: Fill in the Blanks

💡 Activity: Think & Complete
Provide students with sentences and let them choose "so" or "such."

  1. She is ____ kind. (so/such)
  2. It was ____ a fantastic trip! (so/such)
  3. The test was ____ difficult. (so/such)
  4. They had ____ a great time at the party. (so/such)

💬 Pair Discussion:

  • Ask students to explain their answers to their partners.

3️⃣ Speaking Practice: Storytelling Game

📖 Activity: Create a Story

  1. Give students a starting sentence like:
    • "Yesterday, I had such an amazing day because…"
    • "The weather was so bad that…"
  2. They must continue the story by adding details using "so" and "such."

🔄 Variation:

  • Do this as a group story-building activity where each student adds one sentence.

4️⃣ Real-Life Situations: Role Play

💬 Activity: Describe and Compare

  1. Give students different topics (movies, food, travel, friends, etc.).
  2. They describe something using "so" and "such":
    • "The pizza was so delicious!"
    • "It was such a big burger!"
  3. Their partner must react with a question or comment.

Example:
🗣️ A: "The roller coaster was so fast!"
😲 B: "Really? Was it such an exciting ride?"


5️⃣ Fun Challenge: So vs. Such Race 🏆

🏁 Game: Speedy Sentences

  1. Divide the class into two teams.
  2. Show a word or phrase on the screen (e.g., "delicious cake").
  3. The first team to create a correct sentence wins a point.
    • "It was such a delicious cake!"
    • "The cake was so delicious!"

6️⃣ Homework / Wrap-Up:

Personal Sentences:

  • Ask students to write 5 sentences about their own life using so and such.
  • Encourage them to share in the next class.
