    A group /questions
    Message from mohammad51 posted on 01-05-2024 at 22:11:23 (D | E | F)
    Hello
    Please review my answers and correct me if I am wrong.
    Thank you in advance.

    1. He is a brilliant teacher. Use : 'so' as an amplifier
    He is so brilliant. ( I think when an adjective is modified by so, no noun follows)
    Not He is so brilliant teacher. But the teacher is so brilliant.

    2.What a smart student he is! Use How instead of What
    How + adjective\ adverb + noun + verb OR:
    How + adjective\adverb + noun + subject +verb
    How smart student is! OR How smart student he is!

    3.There is a tall tree in the garden. Use 'too' as an amplifier
    There is a too-tall tree in the garden.

    4. Sami isn't as an efficient teacher as he used to be.( Correct if wrong )

    I think it is correct

    How smart a student he is!

    3.There is a tall tree in the garden. Use 'too' as an amplifier
    There is a too-tall tree in the garden. Sounds strange.
    The tree in the garden is too tall.
    There is a tree in the garden that is (much) too tall.

    4. Sami isn't as efficient a teacher as he used to be.

    " There is too tall a tree in the garden"

    This I searched about and found some similar examples


    It is someone asked me these questions to see whether are correct or wrong.

    1. Ali is a teacher so brilliant . I see it could be a predicative adjective

    2.What a teacher smart he is! I see it is not common ?

    3.There is a tree too tall in the garden. I see it is also not common

    Hello

    " There is too tall a tree in the garden" strange, better there is a tree which is too tall in the garden.


    It is someone asked me these questions to see whether these sentences are correct or wrong.

    1. Ali is a teacher so brilliant . I see it could be a predicative adjective I don't think so. A. is so brilliant a teacher or (more natural I think in modern English), A. is
    such a brilliant teacher.
    2.What a smart teacher smart he is! I see it is not common ? not common and certainly wrong.

    3.There is a tree too tall in the garden. I see it is also not common see above
