So/ such...that


SO
puede ir seguido de adjetivos o adverbios y se traduciría por "tan":
    The flight was SO bumpy (that) we all felt sick
     I'm SO tired
    The flight was SO long that I got really bored
     My suitcase was SO heavy that I had to pay excess baggage
     The taxi driver drove SO quickly (that) we got to the airport on time

también puede ir seguido de MUCH/MANY según sea contable o no el sustantivo que vaya después ("tanto")
    There was SO MUCH traffic that we nearly missed our flight
    SO MANY people think OT is the best that I think that  maybe I'm wrong

SUCH    ("tan... que", pero en inglés se puede omitir el THAT)
va seguido de un adjetivo +  un sustantivo
         ¡OJO! si el sustantivo es singular y contable, se añade "a":
                                                 SUCH A strong smell... that

                                                 SUCH A great hotel...
         
    We were served SUCH terrible food that I couldn't eat a thing
    The people we met on holiday were SUCH nice people that we kept in touch with them.
