Grammar rule

Grammar from units 16–18

Unit	Grammar	Example
16	the future continuous (will be + -ing), be about to, be due to	By next Monday, I'll be counting fish. We're about to leave. We're due to reach the station on Thursday.
17	quantifiers: a few / few, a little / little, hardly any, each, every, both, either, neither, none of	There are only a few other passengers, and hardly any of them have done this before.
18	so / such … that, too, enough	The trip is so long that I've packed three books. The captain has such strict rules that… The internet won't be fast enough for video calls.

Three things to watch: be about to isn't used with an exact time (it is due to leave at six); few and a few are for plural nouns, little and a little for uncountable ones; and such goes before a noun (such strict rules), so before an adjective alone (so strict).
