Изучаем English Unit 103. Enough and too
Unit 103; Part A
  Enough goes after adjectives and adverbs: • I can't run very far. I'm not fit enough. (not enough fit) • Let's go. We've waited long enough. • Is Joe going to apply for the job? Is he experienced enough? Compare too ... and not ... enough: • You never stop working. You work too hard. (= more than is necessary) • You're lazy. You don't work hard enough. (= less than is necessary) |
Unit 103; Part B
Enough normally goes before nouns:• I can't run very far. I haven't got enough energy. (not energy enough)
• Is Joe going to apply for the job? Does he have enough experience?
• We've got enough money. We don't need any more.
• Some of us had to sit on the floor because there weren't enough chairs.
Note that we say:
• We didn't have enough time. (not the time wasn't enough)
• There is enough money. (not the money is enough)
You can use enough alone (without a noun):
• We don't need any more money. We've got enough.
Compare too much/many and enough:
• There's too much furniture in this room. There's not enough space.
• There were too many people and not enough chairs.
Unit 103; Part C
We say enough/too ... for somebody/something:• We haven't got enough money for a holiday.
• Is Joe experienced enough for the job?
• This shirt is too big for me. I need a smaller size.
But we say enough/too ... to do something (not for doing). For example:
• We haven't got enough money to go on holiday. (not for going)
• Is Joe experienced enough to do the job?
• They're too young to get married. / They're not old enough to get married.
• Let's get a taxi. It's too far to walk home from here.
• The bridge is just wide enough for two cars to pass each other.
