Expressing “extremes”:

too; so; such.

Sometimes, the word “very” just isn’t enough – the situation is more intense or exasperating!

That’s when we use

too, so,

and

such.

Example:

The line was

too

long, so I left.

Too

before an adjective indicates it was a problem.

The line was

long that I had to wait for a while.

We use “so” in front of an adjective to express an “extreme”.

There was

such

a long line that I had to wait for a while.

We use “such” in front of a noun to express an “extreme”. Don’t forget the indefinite

article.
