Grammar
such a beautiful day vs. so beautiful a day
Hi all,
I'm just wondering what is the difference between "It was such a beautiful day" and "It was so beautiful a day".
Also I'm wondering if the sentence "it was so beautiful a day that we decided to go to the beach" is acceptable or grammatical.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi,
A small further comment about usage.
"It was such a beautiful day" This syntax is common in everday English.
"It was so beautiful a day". This is less common. It sounds rather literary.
