So....that / such....that



Teaching "So...That" & "Such...That" (Basic to Basic on Interactive Pattern)

🎯 Learning Objectives

  • Understand the difference between so...that and such...that
  • Use them correctly in spoken and written English
  • Practice with engaging interactive activities

📌 Step 1: Understanding the Concept

🟢 "So...that" → Used with adjectives & adverbs
Structure: Subject + verb + so + adjective/adverb + that + result
Example:

  • The tea was so hot that I couldn't drink it.
  • She ran so fast that nobody could catch her.

🔵 "Such...that" → Used with nouns (with or without adjectives)
Structure: Subject + verb + such + (adjective) + noun + that + result
Example:

  • It was such a beautiful place that we took many pictures.
  • He is such a kind person that everyone likes him.

📌 Step 2: Interactive Activities

1️⃣ Picture-Based Explanation

🎨 Activity: Show images representing different situations and ask students to complete the sentences.
✅ Example:
Show an image of a big burger 🍔
Sentence Starter: The burger was so big that...
💡 Expected answer: I couldn't finish it.


2️⃣ Role Play (Real-Life Situations)

👥 Activity: Pair up students and give them prompts to act out.
✅ Example Scenarios:

  • Teacher: "Imagine you saw an amazing movie. How would you describe it using ‘such...that’?"
  • Student: "It was such an exciting movie that I watched it twice!"

3️⃣ Sentence Transformation Challenge

✍️ Activity: Provide simple sentences and ask students to rewrite them using so...that or such...that.
✅ Example:

  • Original: The dog was very big. It scared the children.
  • Transformed: The dog was so big that it scared the children.

4️⃣ Storytelling Chain Game

📖 Activity: Start a story with a sentence, and students continue using so...that or such...that.
✅ Example:

  • Teacher: "One day, it was such a hot day that..."
  • Student 1: "...people stayed indoors. The heat was so strong that..."
  • Student 2: "...even the birds stopped flying."
