DESCRIPTION

THE GRAMMAR BOOK IS ENCLOSED IN THE DOCUMENT

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH OUR LESSON

REPEAT AFTER ME

MR MILLER IS VERY BUSY

HE CAN'T LEAVE HIS OFFICE

WE HAD PREVIOUSLY LEARNED THAT USING TOO BUSY

MEANS THAT THE EFFECT OF THE DESCRIPTION

BUSY

IS SO STRONG THAT SOMETHING ELSE BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE

WE USE "TOO" TO EXPRESS NEGATIVE IDEAS

IF I SAY THAT AN ASSIGNMENT IS TOO EASY

I'M SAYING IT'S A BAD THING

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REPRESENT A CHALLENGE

WE CAN USE SO THAT AND SUCH

THAT TO EXPRESS THE SAME IDEA AS WITH "TOO"

BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE USE THE CORRECT

STRUCTURE WITH EACH ONE

THAT IS WHAT THIS LESSON IS ABOUT

THE CORRECT STRUCTURE WITH TOO IS

TOO DESCRIPTION TO ACTION

REPEAT AFTER ME

MR MILLER IS TOO BUSY TO LEAVE HIS OFFICE

THE CORRECT STRUCTURE WITH SO THAT

IS SO DESCRIPTION THAT NOUN/PRONOUN NEGATIVE

REPEAT AFTER ME

MR MILLER IS SO BUSY THAT HE CAN'T LEAVE HIS OFFICE

AND FINALLY THE CORRECT STRUCTURE WITH SUCH

THAT IS SUCH DESCRIBED NOUN

THAT

NOUN/PRONOUN

NEGATIVE

REPEAT AFTER ME

MR MILLER IS SUCH A BUSY MAN

THAT HE CAN'T LEAVE HIS OFFICE

THIS MEANS THAT WE USE TOO AND SO WITH DESCRIPTIONS

OR ADJECTIVES

AND WE USE SUCH WITH DESCRIBED NOUNS OR NOUN PHRASES

THE BEST WAY TO INTERNALIZE THESE STRUCTURES

IS THROUGH PRACTICE

SO LET'S JUMP RIGHT OVER TO EXERCISE 3

I WILL SAY A SENTENCE WITH TOO

AND I WILL GIVE YOU A MOMENT TO SPEAK OUT LOUD

AND EXPRESS THE SAME IDEA

USING SO THAT AND SUCH THAT CONSECUTIVELY

ONCE YOU'VE SAID THEM BOTH

I'LL DO SO MYSELF

MAKE SURE YOU COMPARE YOUR SENTENCES TO MINE

AND REPEAT THEM AFTER ME

SO YOU CAN INTERNALIZE ANY CORRECTIONS NECESSARY

FROM THE EXAMPLES
