There were so few students.

[mimi2]

What about this sentence? Is it right?
"There were so few students registered that the class was cancelled."
Thanks a lot.

 

[majlo]

Yes, it is correct. It means that there weren't enough students to conduct the class.

 

[mimi2]

Can I write:
There were such a few students registered that the class was cancelled.
Is it the same as the original one?

 

[maxiogee]

The first sounds fine to me, I wouldn't use the second.

 

[majlo]

Neither would I.
