2 不定冠词与as, so, too, how, however连用时位于形容词后的例子

书上说,当形容词被as, so, too, how, however等修饰时,形容词所修饰的名词必须是单数可数名词,并且修饰名词的不定冠词应放在形容词之后,而不是之前。——这话好拗口,请老师举例说明一下。谢谢!

As是先行词,限定词通常位于定语形容词之前。但如果名词为单数可数名词,同时定语形容词被as, so, too, how, however所强调,则不定冠词位于形容词之后(被强调的形容词移至限定词as之前)。如果名词是复数或不可数名词,则应改为其它修饰形式。如改用such来强调,或将形容词改为表语结构或后置定语。

陈老师的解答很好。我再补充一个:

He is that naugty a boy, and so we all dislike him. 他是那样一个淘气的孩子,所以我们都不喜欢他。(说明:本句that用作程度副词,跟so的用法相同。)
