so+adj./adv.

+adj.+a/an+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)

+many/few+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)

much/little+不可數(shù)名詞that 從句

such+a/an+adj.+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)

+adj.+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)

這個(gè)老太太是那樣好心,她把我領(lǐng)到了醫(yī)院。

(3)so that 連在一起用,可引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句,也可引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句。so that引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句時(shí),從句中常使用 can/could/may/might/will/would/should 等情態(tài)動(dòng)詞;引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句時(shí),從句中一般不用 can和 may等

詞,在 so that前可以有逗號(hào),意思是“因此;所以”。

(3)of+n.結(jié)構(gòu)還可以表示主語的根源關(guān)系,此時(shí)的名詞多是表示親屬、血統(tǒng)、種族、國籍以及出處的名詞,常用的名詞有:family, blood, race, origin 等。

We are of the same blood. 我們是同一血統(tǒng)。
