Grammar
so or such???
hi,
when we consider the rule: SUCH + a-an + adjective + noun
SO + adjective/adverb
is it
"she always wears such nice clothes" or "she always wears so nice clothes"? Why?

Yes, the noun phrase is "such [a - if countable] [adjective] [noun]" That is such a big dog. She wears such nice clothing. So is part of an adverb phrase.

That is such a big dog. She wears such nice clothing.
So is part of an adverb phrase. She sings so well.
Or so can simply modify a predicate adjective. They seem so happy. Your voice is so pretty. Don't use so before an adjective that comes immediately before the noun it mod
