Meaning - Summary

Reminder :
"So" and "such" emphasise (make stronger or bigger) things like: feelings, opinions,
quantities and qualities.
Example
We can use 'so' with adjectives and adverbs:
She was so beautiful (= she was very beautiful).
I'm so angry right now (= I'm very angry).
They sold out of the coats so quickly (=very quickly).

Example :
We can use 'such' with nouns:
It was such a nice day (= it was a very nice day).
You're such a good saleswoman (= you're a very good saleswoman).

Important
Here, the adjectives 'nice' and 'good' modify the nouns.

Example :
Usually, when we emphasise quantities, we use 'so' with 'many' or 'much':
There will be so many people at the shopping centre.
People waste so much money on clothes.

Important
We can also use 'so' with the negative equivalents of 'many' much', which are 'few' and 'little',
but it is not common. Instead, we make the verb negative:
"There won't be so many people at the shopping centre."
"People don't waste so much money on clothes."
 Form - Summary
Reminder :
"So" and "Such"
Subject + verb + so + adjective or adverb
Subject + verb + such + (a/an) + noun phrase

Important :
When you use "such" with a singular countable noun, use the indefinite article "a/an" after it.

Example :
This dress is so pretty. (adjective)
John can spend money so quickly. (adverb)
Anna is such a pretty girl. (an adjective and noun = a noun phrase)

Tips and Tricks :

Use so + many (much) / few (little) + noun.
