[Grammar] such (with and without "noun")

[newkeenlearner]

Hi everyone,
This is my first post here.
Hope my English is improving more.
I have a couple of questions:

I have learned that we use 'such'+ 'a/an' + 'adjective'+ 'noun' to give more emphasis to the noun.
For example:
this is such a wonderful book.
They are such amazing teachers.

Now, would it be possible to use this structure without "an adjective" before noun?
Examples:
My daughter is in such a hurry to grow up.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Why are you in such a hurry to sell your house?
Now, what does 'such a hurry' mean in all of those examples where there is no adjective after the noun phrase 'a hurry'?


So can we say ? "I visited such a city during my trip." or "she is such a teacher.", if so what do all mean?



Thanks in advanced.

In some cases, so / such mean something roughly like in that way / of that kind. That is, they refer to the quality or type expressed by the words (adjectives or nouns) that come after them. Here are some more examples. (Note that the second sentences of each pair are intended only to explain the meaning.)

I don't know what you look so pleased about.
