English Grammar
Enough or Too pdf
Let’s learn about when to use “ENOUGH and “TOO”! What do they mean and how do we use them within a structure?
First of all, “TOO” equates to “more than is required”, “more than is needed”. And “ENOUGH” means “sufficient”, “satisfactory”.
How do we use them? It depends with what we combine them.
1. How to use “TOO”?
WITH AN ADJECTIVE
If we combine “TOO with an adjective, we would have to place the adjective after “TOO”.
For example: “It is too warm”
WITH AN ADVERB
The same thing applies to an adverb.
“TOO” + adverb: “she speaks too fast”
WITH A NOUN
“TOO”: if we want to make it work with nouns, we need to add a few elements.
TOO + MUCH or TOO + MANY
So we use “TOO + MUCH” if the noun is uncountable. And ” TOO + MANY” if the noun is countable.
First example:
“there is too much snow”
Second example:
“there are too many options”
WITH A PRONOUN
And finally, if we want to work with a pronoun we have to add “MUCH OF” between “TOO” and the pronoun.
“he ate too much of it” for instance.
2. How to use “ENOUGH”?
WITH AN ADJECTIVE OR ADVERB
With “ENOUGH we have to place the adjective or the adverb before “ENOUGH”
“it is warm enough”
“she speaks slowly enough”
WITH A NOUN
And if we want to make “ENOUGH” work with a noun, we simply place the noun after “ENOUGH”.
“is there enough food?”
3. Some advice:
Be careful if you say: “this is too interesting!”.
If you actually mean: “it is so interesting!” – “it is very interesting!”.
Here the connotations are very different:
– with “TOO,” it’s negative, – “this is too interesting!”.
– with “SO,” or, “VERY,” it’s positive, – “it is so interesting!” – “it is very interesting!”
