1. The boys are such smart people that they will pass the ecam.

2. The boys are so smart people that they will pass the exam.

Are the both sentences grammatical?

2. The boys are so smart [STRIKE]people [/STRIKE]that they will pass the exam.

Are the both sentences grammatical?

Now they are.

 

[wotcha22]

Now they are.

How about "There is so smart a girl that she will pass the exam" and "There are so smart people that they will pass the exam"?

1. The boys are such smart people that they will pass the exam.

This is correct, but sounds odd; having told us that they are boys, telling us that they are also people is unnecessary. Barb's version of #2 works better for me.
