Exclamation

So, What, and Such.

They are all used differently and have unique rules.

1) So

"So" is used with an adjective when used to express an exclamation.

For example:

- He is so tall !

- He is so smart !

2) What

What is a little different from his two counterparts:

There is no verb in the sentence when used with exclamation, unlike so and such.

As examples:

What a nice dog !

It is such a nice dog !

It is so nice !

"What" is used in the beginning of the sentence to express the exclamation.

Example:

What a genius !

"What" can be used with an adjective and followed by a noun or just a noun, while the other two exclamations cannot.

For example:

 - What a nice man !

 - What a man !

 - He is so nice !

 - He is so man !

 - He is such a nice man !

 - He is such a man !

Examples:

What a genius !

What an idiot !

What a smart girl !

What a dumb girl !

The rule is the following:

What followed by a or an and then the adjective and/or the noun and finally never forget the " ! "

(What + a/an + adjective + !) / (What + a/an + adjective + noun + !)

3) Such

"Such" is used with an adjective and a noun when used to express an exclamation.

Examples:

She is such a lonely woman !

She is such a lovely woman !

Examples:

He is such a good boy ! ---> He is such a bad boy !

She is such a nice woman ! ---> She is such an evil woman !

The general rule is the following:

Subject or pronoun and then the verb and then "such" and the adjective and the noun and " ! " at the end =

(Pronoun/Subject + Verb + such + Adjective + noun +!)

In this exercise, you have to choose between the correct exclamation: So / What / Such in each sentence. 

Good luck!
