4. «Such ... that» shows a result: it was such a hot day that we swam. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/S/such/#m4)

### In the lessons

Maths: it points back to things already named: «How many such boxes?» means boxes like the ones described, so use the amount told about them. Everyday: such a lot, such a shame, there is no such thing. Writing: «such as» to give examples.

### Examples
