which one is correct ? -There were such good products in the market that she hesitated to choose one . - There were so good products in the market that she hesitated to choose one. |

Such. "So" can only modify adjectives and adverbs, never nouns. |

I would say: -There were such good products in the market that she hesitated to choose one . - The products in the market were so good that she hesitated to choose one. |

I would choose SUCH as well. The sentence does not make perfect sense to me, though. I would understand the hesitation if there were SO MANY good products in the market, not if there were a few very good ones. |

Minka makes a very good point. The context really calls for "so many". Using "such" would lead to a sentence like this: There were such good products in the market that she felt safe sending her husband to get what she needed. Bruce |
