So That用法
1) so that (在结果状语从句中) 以致;结果
eg: He didn’t plan his time well, so that he didn’t finish the work in time.

2) so that (在目的状语从句中) 以便
eg: Would/Could you speak slowly so that everyone can hear you?
They set out/start off early (so) that they might arrive at the airport/airfield in time.
3) so that 引导的目的状语从句和结果状语从句的区别在于:
① 用so that 引导的结果状语从句中, 无情态动词, 而在目的状语从句中则有.
eg: I sent/posted this letter by air mail, so that he received it in good time. (表示结果, 是结果状语从句)
I sent/posted this letter by air mail, so that he could receive it in good time. (表示目的,是目的状语从句)
② 用so that 引导的结果状语从句不可置于句首, 而目的状语从句可.
eg: So that /In order that they could catch the first bus, they got up early this morning. (目的状语从句, 可置于句首)
The policeman waved to the driver, so that he stopped his taxi/cab. (结果状语从句,不可置于句首)
4） so+adj./adv.+that 如此…… 以致于……
eg: Tom ran so quickly that he won the race.
She was so happy that she danced.

*5) so…that…如此……使得……;如此……以致……/ no sooner…than… 一……就…… / hardly/scarcely…when…一(刚)……就……/ not only…but (also)…不仅……而且……
如果把 so/ no sooner/ hardly/scarcely / not only 置于句首的话, 就需要半倒装, 半倒装一定要在so/ no sooner/ hardly/scarcely / not only引导的分句上.
eg: So loudly does the teacher speak that everyone can hear him clearly.
No sooner had I begun to speak than she cut in (插嘴).
Hardly/Scarcely had he finished his homework when he went out for play.

*若not only…but (also)…连接两个并列主语时, 不用倒装语序, 且谓语动词形式依照
“就近一致”原则.
eg: Not only I but also Tom and Jerry are tired of having one exam(ination) after another.
*6) such a(n)+adj.+n.
such adj.+pl. +that… 如此……以致于……
such adj.+不可数名词
① so+adj.+a(n)+n. +that…
such a(n)+adj.+n. +that
eg: Here is such a big stone that nobody can lift it.
Here is so big a stone that nobody can lift it.
*复数名词和不可数名词的such的用法不能用so替换.
② 如果名词前的修饰语为many, few, much, little, 则习惯用so, 而不用 such.
即: so many/few+pl. +that…
so much/little+不可数名词 +that
eg: There are so many delicious food on the menu that I really don’t know where to start.
