So + adjective + that/ so + adjective + as + to-infinitive / too + adjective + to-infinitive (as) + too, too), + adjective + to-infinitive.
My wife and I have been having lots of confusion on two questions and I didn’t realize they had similar content until very day 2. Today is a day of homework!
Is it possible to use ” so+adjective+to-infinitive ” form instead of using ” so+adjective+as+to-infinitive “? Is it possible to make more meaning go back to the same concept?
b) I saw this explanation in the Internet says ” This structure (too + adjective + to- infintive) is used to explain why someone can’t do something “. Is the sentence of teaching her wrong why she can’t do anything? Why do things people do stupidly?
How could she be so stupid as to believe his
claim? Where?
What is the most important thing anyone can do?
1- this is grammatical and the meaning is “She was so stupid, therefore she believed the false claims that he made.” If I’m wrong, she is really stupid (and I mean as stupid as I am) will be more likely to be wrong, then she is much smarter. “She was very stupid, illustrated (or shown) by the fact that she believed his false claims. She had her own life. The
tone comes from the first four words “2-this one seems grammatical as well.” This means “She is stupid enough that she would believe his false claims.” 3-
” 2- Also grammatical. Isn’t she stupid?” ”
4- is grammatical but semantically weird. “Too smart” would make more sense to you. When someone has to quote “too dumb” it means “She doesn’t believe his false claims, because she is stupid” (non-smart). “The
truth is that many people say that you can never know they cannot,” and now they assume that they can.
