Hello,

I would like to ask a question about 'so that'.

She is so beautiful that I want to mary her. (It is correct)
She is such a beautiful girl that I want to marry her. (It is correct)

But,

1)She is a girl so beautiful that I want to mary her.

2)She is so beautiful a girl that I want to mary her.

Can we use 'so that' like this?
Thank you
 
* Not a teacher

Yes. You can use it like that. It's a more classic/formal/old way.

so + adjective + article + noun
 
Thank you but I want to hear this from a teacher too... :)

You could, but it would be extremely uncommon. I'd advise you not to.
