Rosespring,


(1) Mr. Michael Swan in his Practical English Usage (Oxford: University

Press, 1995), p. 194, tells us that we may use this combination for

exclamations (expressions of emotion):

such a + adjective + singular countable noun.

Therefore, if you wanted to use "such," you could say: Wow!

Have you ever seen such a beautiful house (as this one is)!!!


THANK YOU
