1. The soldiers are so brave that they always conquer the enemy.
2. The danger is so great that no ships can be saved.
3. So great a storm had arisen that all the sailors were terrified.
4. He escaped so quickly that no one could catch him.

With considerable trepidation (but all learning is embarrassment):
1. milites tam fortes sunt ut hostes semper vincant.
2. tantum est periculum ut nulla ex navium conservari possit.
3. talis tempestas coorta est ut nautae universi perterrerentur.*
4. tam celeriter effugit ut nemo eum capere posset.
And a picturesque version of N&H No. 9 in Latin, roughly "They were so scared they dared not cross the river".
*Edited: originally (wrongly) pres pass subj.

4. He escaped so quickly that no one could catch him.
-Velocitas eius mirabilis ut visu posset nemo eum capere.
1. Elision (I elided it sue me it sounds better)
4. (Velox replaced now by velocitas) I was using velox to describe "res" which was understood. But that was a bit far fetched for benissimus .
