Is this correct?
Hi!
I want to make sure that both of my sentences are correct!
1. I am so happy that I got the Nobel Prize.
2. I am so sad that my best friend died.
Some say if you use 'so + adjective + that', this sentence has the meaning of the cause and the result like 'The book was so boring that I couldn't finish it.' The book was so boring being the cause and I couldn't finish it being the result.
But the sentence I want to use is 'I am so happy that I got the Nobel Prize.' It doesn't mean cause and the result. So is this wrong?
