How to use SUCH A in English Expand your vocabulary
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm today is such a beautiful
day let’s talk about it in this video I
want to help you use the intensifier
such ah we can add this at the beginning
of a great expression like such a
beautiful day it was such a hot summer
it was such a cold winter this is a
great intensifier to help expand your
vocabulary and also help you express
yourself better because in the end this
is the goal I want you to be able to
express yourself just like you’re
speaking your native language so with
this expression such up you’re going to
be able to say exactly what you want to
say let’s talk for a moment about the
construction of this expression when I
said it is such a beautiful day after
such a there is an adjective beautiful
and then we have the noun day such a
beautiful day it’s not just any
beautiful day it is such a beautiful day
so we want to make that adjective
beautiful even stronger how can we say
this in a negative way
maybe it’s raining outside and you had
some plans to have a picnic or go on a
hike maybe when you look outside you
could say it is not such a beautiful day
it is not such a beautiful day I wish
that it were sunny today we can simply
add not at the beginning of this
expression it’s not such a beautiful day
but we often add another word at the end
to make it sound a little more natural
so in this sentence I would say it’s not
such a beautiful day after all because I
added after all it means that I had some
kind of expectation
I expected it to be a beautiful day but
when I woke up this morning it was rainy
it was cloudy it was too hot some kind
of negative weather so I might say it’s
not such a beautiful day after all so
maybe I’ll just go to my friend’s house
instead this is showing you had an
expectation but your expectation was not
met I hope that this expression is
useful to you and that you can use this
a lot so my challenge to you is to use
such a in the comments below this video
