Hi,

Please refer to the following page regarding English Adverbs :
http://www.english-test.net/lessons/11/index.html

In the fourth paragraph of "High Hopes"
Quote:
As quickly as the rain had started equally as speedily it stopped. We all got out of the car and walked slowly up the cliff at the end of the town. Usually you get a magnificent view of the bay at the top but on this particular afternoon rarely had I seen so much mist. And that, in a manner of speaking, was my down fall. . . . .

The word “much” qualifies the noun “mist” so it is an adjective and should not be in italic form.
On the other hand, the word “so” qualifies the adjective “much” so it is an adverb and should be in italic form.
Is it correct ?

Best regards

Nick
