1 so that 是用作連詞的短語,因此不可分開,可以引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句和結(jié)果狀語從句,意為“為的是,以便”。

Tom came late, so that he did not see her. 湯姆來遲了,結(jié)果沒有見到她。(結(jié)果狀語從句)
2 so...that 意為“如此……以致,那樣……以致”,so 后跟形容詞或副詞,that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。
He was so ill that they had to send for the doctor. 他病得那樣重,他們不得不請醫(yī)生。
He ran so fast that no one could catch him. 他跑得那樣快,以致沒有人能抓住他。
提示
①如果so...that是否定句,可以轉(zhuǎn)換為too...to句型,表示“太……不能”。如果句中的主句主語和從句主語不是同一人,就要在不定式前加for sb.,作不定式的邏輯主語。
He is so young that he can't join the army. 他年齡太小,不能參軍。
he is too young to join the army.
The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.
The box is too heavy for me to carry .
這箱子太重了,我搬不動。(注意,原句的it必須去掉)
②so可以單獨用在句子開頭,表示根據(jù)上面的情況會有如下的結(jié)果,意為“如此,這么說”。
So you won't come, will you?這么說你不來了,是嗎?
So that's what he wants. 那么,那就是他想要的了。
3 such...that 結(jié)構(gòu)中such 后應(yīng)接名詞,即such+名詞+that從句,that從句表示結(jié)果。
It is such an interesting film that I want to see it again. 這部電影極為有趣,我想再看一遍。
