My daughter is in such a hurry to grow up.

Hi everyone,

I think we use [such] + [a/an] + [adjective] + [noun] to give more emphasis to the noun.
For example: this is such a wonderful book. They are such amazing teachers.
Would it be possible to use this structure without [an adjective] before noun?
Examples:
My daughter is in such a hurry to grow up.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Why are you in such a hurry to sell your house?

Now, what does they all mean?

So can we say ? I visited such a city during my trip?
Thanks in advanced.

'such' can precede a noun phrase; if there is an adjective before the noun, it emphasizes the meaning of the adjective.

They are [such amazing] teachers. (= They are [really amazing] teachers.)
