Intensifier = and adverb that gives extra force or emphasis/menekankan to the adjective (very, extremely, hardly,
etc.)
Determiner = used to categorise a noun in some way (a, the, this, that, my etc.)

We use the intensifier so to mean very or extremely.

It is often used to indicate that there is some kind of a surprise or even a result or consequence to the
adjective that is being emphasised.
e.g. It was so hot that we had to sleep with the air conditioning switched on.
e.g. My mother was so angry that she didn’t speak to me for a whole month.
We use the determiner such in a similar way but the noun is included in the sentence or phrase.
e.g. It was such a hot night that we had to sleep with the air conditioning switched on.
e.g. It was such hot weather that we had to sleep with the air conditioning switched on.
You will notice that in the previous sentences the article is used for countable nouns (in this case, day)
and the article is not used for uncountable nouns (in this case, weather).

Convert the sentences below into so or such sentences.

e.g. We had to sleep with the air conditioning switched on because it was so hot.
