Analysis of a noun phrase, which we studied in earlier lessons, we symbolized deictic items by Det. Because deictic items modifies a noun, their form must match the characteristics of the noun

--She was such a diligent student that he could finish her study in three years.--The eruption caused such destruction that the place was closed for good.--They were such diligent students that they could finish their study in three years.

In the first sentence, the word conjunction such-that uses the determiner a because student is a singular countable noun. In the second and third sentences, no a is used because the noun is an uncountable noun in the second sentence and a countable plural noun in the third sentence.
