It is such a terrible weather.
It is so terrible weather.
It is so a terrible weather.
Why is “It is so terrible weather.” wrong?
Please explain.
Thanks.
Hello Allifahitma.
I´d like to add this explanation :
1 - Such + adjective + Noun --> It is such terrible weather.
2 - So + adjective —> The weather is so terrible!
You can use this way as well :
So + adverb —> You speak so quickly!
Such + noun —> I don´t like such people.
— more examples ----
Johnny is such an intelligent boy.
Johnny is so intelligent!
She is such a beautiful girl.
She is so beautiful!
It was such a stupid story.
The story was so stupid.
She is such a nice person.
She is so nice!
** She is so nice person . (wrong!)
I hope this helps.
Have a nice day.

Why is “It is so terrible weather.” wrong?
Because weather is uncountable
You Can say
He is so good a boy
= he is such a good boy
he has so good an education
such a good education
But when it is uncountable , you use just “such”
such good weather
not
so good weather
Hello Ahmeeeeeeeeeed.
Sorry , but I´ve never seen the sentence “He is so good a boy” . I always use “He is a good boy” or “He is such a good boy.”
Could you please explain it?
Regards.
Marina.
Well, It is in My grammar book . And also I asked about this here in this forum somewhere and they confirmed it
Hello Ahmeeeeeeed.
Thanks for replying but could you please tell me the link where they confirm “He is so good a boy” is a correct sentence? I´d like to read their explanation.

- It was a quite perfect evening.
- It was quite a perfect evening.
Can we add article - ‘a’ before or after ‘quite’?
Please explain with grammar.
Hello Allifathima 
It is a good question for a new topic. I think it´s better you open a new post because the original post is on the use of ‘so’ and ‘such.’ (according to your question ).
Regards.
Marina
I would like to have that explained too. It’s not correct.
If that’s in your grammar book, throw the book away.
Both are acceptable but the meaning changes slightly.
- The evening was absolutely perfect.
- The evening was perfect to some degree.
Well that is what I was told here
english-test.net/forum/ftopic74443.html
he didn’t object to saying “so good a doctor”
But he just said I have to use “such” with uncountables
now I am quite confused
And here
An other one said
"
A grammar guide told me that I can say ‘he is so nice a boy’ while ‘they are so nice boys’ is incorrect.
"

I see your confusion. That is not the same context. The sentence continues, using ‘that’. You cannot use it as a standalone sentence the way you have done above.
He is so good a doctor that everyone goes to him.
He is so good a boy that everyone gives him treats.
These are acceptable (though only just… the usual form would be ‘He is such a good…’ here too!)
