Adverbial clauses of result / підрядні речення наслідку

Adverbial clauses of result are joined in English to the
main sentence with the help of the composite conjunction so that
or the conjunction that, which has as its correlative the
demonstrative adverb so, compare: The weather was so bad that
the plane could not start. – Погода була така погана, що
літак не міг вилетіти. Ukrainian adverbial clauses of result
have the same type of conjunction так що (й): Підхопилися всі,
всі враз і з усіх сил, так що коні шарахнулися набік
(Ю.Смолич).
In both languages adverbial clauses of result usually
occupy the position after the main clause.
