so ..that construction

by Roger Mon May 26, 2008 9:58 am

I have come across two construction for so that:

1 so [adjective/adverb] that :Among the cossacks, vegetable farming was once so despised that it was forbidden on pain of death.

2 so that [subject] : Roger spoke so that we would stop asking her questions.

Are there any other form in which so that construction can be used?

Thanks,
Roger

The one you'll generally see on this test (if you see it at all) is the one illustrated by your first example: so X that Y (was made to happen).
