- It was rainy again and I didn't want to get soaked. I wish I had bought my umbrella.
- I am fat now. I wish I lost my weight.

- It's raining, and it seems it will be raining whole day. I wish I would be sunny.
- I wish he would find another job instead of teaching English.
- I have bought some foods, and I wish it would have good tasting.
I am gonna practice making sentences using 'be supposed to'
- I heard about him from my mum, and she said to me he is such a good person. He is supposed to be a nice person.
- It was supposed to phone her yesterday, but I totally forgot.
- It is supposed to meet him today 5.30pm, but it is already 5.40pm. I am quite late.
- It is supposed to be secret, so you have not to tell other people about it.
- It was supposed to be rainy tonight, but it wasn't rainy.
Q. Could you explain different things between 'such' and 'so'?
I know 'such' is used with + adj + noun (such beautiful eyes or such a nice person)

I wish I lost some weight.
I wish I was at home.
- I received my final exam score, but it wasn't good.
- It's raining, and it seems it will be raining the whole day.
I wish it was sunny.
You would be sunny? ;P
- I wish he would find another job instead of teaching English.
Foreign boyfriend?
- I have bought some foods, but I wish they tasted good.
- It was supposed to phone her yesterday, but I totally forgot.
- I was supposed to meet him today 5.30pm, but it is already 5.40pm.
- It is supposed to be secret, so you shouldn't tell other people about it.
"such fun" it makes sense.
Doesn't it?
Yes it does
I'm a native speaker so I'm not sure how to explain it. I do know that it's better to use words like "very" or "a lot of" to emphasise, rather "such" or "so" by themselves. For example "so" usually needs an explanation. For example:
"It is so hot out, I had to take off my shirt."
If you just say
"It is so hot out" it doesn't really make sense by itself. Maybe some teenagers say that but it is not really correct. They should say:
"It's very hot out". or "It's really hot out" or (very casual) "It's fucking hot out!"
As a native speaker I don't really know the rules for such and so. I will instead give some examples.
It is such a nice day, I will go outside.
We played in the garden all day yesterday, it was such fun.
I ate so many burgers yesterday, I had to lie down.
I had so much fun with you today that I'm smiling like crazy.
I wish I had bought my umbrella.
"I had" is okay to use but it sounds better to use "I'd"
I wish I lost my weight. I wish I'd lose weight....or... I wish I would lose weight.
I wish I was in my home.I wish I was home... or ... I wish I was in my house.
- I received a score for my final exam, but it wasn't good.
I wish I had studied more.
Once again, "I'd" is preferable
- It's raining, and it seems like it will be raining whole day.
You can also say: "as if" instead of like, if you're speaking in a more formal way.
I wish it would be sunny.
You don't mean you wish you would feel good right? You mean you wish it would be sunny instead of rainy.
- I wish he would find another job instead of teaching English.
Good!
- I have bought some foods, and I wish it would have good tasting.
I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here. Possible corrections (with different meanings, once again "I have" is proper but it's preferred to use "I've"):
"I've brought some food, and I hope it tastes good."
"I've brought some different foods, and I hope they taste good."
"I wish the foods I'd brought had tased good."
"I have brought some different foods, and I wish for us to have a good tasting." - NOT what I think you meant, and a bit formal and a bit awkward.
I am gonna going to practice making sentences using 'be supposed to'
This is what the internet has done. I use "gonna" all the time, and in common speech, most people do. NEVER write "gonna," as it's VERY improper.
- I heard about him from my mum, and she said to who told me he is such a good person.
A side note: in America, always use "mom" not "mum," I'm not sure about other places but something tells me that "mum" is a VERY British word (I don't think it's used outside of the UK).
- It was supposed to phone her yesterday, but I totally forgot.
If in the US, use "call" not "phone."
- It is I was supposed to meet him today 5.30pm, but it is it's already 5.40pm.
you don't need the pm twice, it's assumed that you didn't wait over 12 hours
I am I'm quite late.
- It is It's supposed to be a secret, so you have not to tell other people about it. can't tell anyone.
There are many ways to say that, what I gave is probably how most English speakers would say it.
- It was supposed to be rainy tonight, but it wasn't rainy.
Could you explain different things the difference between 'such' and 'so'?
"such fun" it makes sense.
and yes, it does make sense
isn't doesn't it?
so I am confused it...
Not sure what you're saying, these are okay:
"So I'm confused now"
"So I'm confused with it"
but a better way is:
"It confuses me"
Words like "such" are what make English so difficult. Just keep doing what you're doing because these are called "idioms." They make no sense at all and have no rules, you just have to know them case by case!
I wish I lost had lost could lose my weight.
Good! But it is better to say HAD lost, or COULD lose
I wish I was in my at home.
Grammatically correct!! But anglophones usually say "at home".
- I received a score of final exam my final exam score, but it wasn't good.
I wish I had studied more.
Great!! Good use of the word "had"!! :)
- It's raining, and it seems it will be raining the whole day.
I wish I it would be sunny.
Small typo :)
- I wish he would find another job instead of teaching English.
Great! Perfect.
- I have bought some foods, and I wish it would have good tasting. hope they will taste well/good.
You don't use the word "wish" in this sentence. :)
- It I was supposed to phone her yesterday, but I totally forgot.
Small typo again ;)
- It is I am supposed to meet him today at 5.30pm, but it is already 5.40pm.
You have to put a subject in the sentence! "Who is supposed to meet him? I am!"
- It is supposed to be a secret, so you have not to cannot tell other people about it.
Answer: You use "so" when the object you are describing is NOT mentioned after the adjective. For example "That CAR is so nice!" "IT is so beautiful!"
You use "such" if the object you are describing IS mentioned after the adjective For example "It is such a nice CAR" "It is such a beautiful DAY!!"
For "such fun"... "THE RIDE is so fun to go on." "That is such a fun RIDE to go on." Both are used in the same way at the other "so" and "such".
Exercises:
1. The homework is ____ hard.
2. Mrs. Brown is ____ a good woman.
3. It is ____ a pretty doll.
4. That dog is ___ mean.
5. The girl is ___ beautiful.
haha ! you should be a English teacher :) thank you so much !
I wish I had brought my umbrella.
I wish I lost my weight.
this sounds more like you're talking to a Genie who's given you a wish, rather than that "you wish you hadn't become so fat" or "you wish you could lose weight"
I wish I was at home.
- I received a score for my final exam, but it wasn't good.
- It's raining, and it seems it will be raining the whole day.
I wish it was sunny.
- I have bought some food, and I wish it would taste good.
wish is generally used when the thing you want seems unattainable now (I wish unlikely event X would happen), or to say that you dislike the way things are ("I wish I hadn't done that"), (or just used normally in the literal "make a wish" genie context)
This sentence sounds like "you are currently preparing the food and are trying to get it tasting nice, but no matter what you try, it still tastes bad"
"I hope it tastes good" gives the impression that you have yet to open the food and are probably on the way back from the shop with it.
I'm gonna practice making sentences using 'be supposed to'
- I was supposed to phone her yesterday, but I totally forgot.
- I am supposed to meet him today 5.30pm, but it is already 5.40pm.
or he is/she is/you are
- It's supposed to be a secret, so you must not tell other people about it.
- It was supposed to rain tonight, but it didn't.
what you wrote was fine, but this sounds a bit more natural not to repeat the word "rain"
"such fun" it makes sense.
doesn't it?
So I am confused by it...
How do I use this emphasis word?
"such fun" does make sense, even though it looks like it shouldn't. It's probably a shortened version of "such a fun time".
I am practicing sentences using 'wish'. :D
I wish I had brought my umbrella.
- I am fat now.
I wish I lost my could lose some weight.
I wish I was were in my home.
Technically, "were" is correct after "wish", though natives say "was" quite a lot.
- It's raining, and it seems it will be keep raining the whole/all day.
I wish I would be it were sunny.
- I have bought some foods, and. I wish hope it would have good will taste good.
I am gonna going to practice making sentences using 'be supposed to'.
Don't forget your periods. :)
- I heard about him from my mum; and she said to told me he is was such a good person.
I am quite late.
You don't have to put "I'm" here. "I am" is perfectly correct. :)
- It was supposed to be rainy tonight, but it wasn't rainy didn't.
"supposed to rain" seems more natural, though your way is not technically incorrect. :)
I know 'such' is used with an adjective plus a noun (such beautiful eyes or such a nice person).
and I also know 'so' is used with + adjectives (so beautiful).
But !
However, "such fun" it makes sense, doesn't it?
isn't it?
so I am confused it... This seems confusing.
How can I use this emphasis word.... emphatic adverbs?
"fun" is also an noun, so "such fun" follows the "such + noun" form as usual. :) If you still have doubts, let me know. I'm happy to answer. :)
