Using Enough

1. Enough with Nouns: When using "enough" with nouns, it indicates sufficiency or insufficiency of a particular quantity. For example:

• "Is there enough milk in your coffee?"
• "We wanted to play football, but we didn't have enough players."
• "Why don't you buy a car? You've got enough money."

2. Enough without Nouns: "Enough" can also stand alone without a noun, expressing adequacy or satisfaction. For instance:

• "No, thanks. I've had enough."
• "You're always at home. You don't go out enough."

3. Adjective + Enough: When combined with adjectives, "enough" indicates adequacy or insufficiency of a certain quality. For example:

• "No, it isn't warm enough."
• "He can't reach the shelf. He isn't tall enough."
• "Can you hear the radio? Is it loud enough for you?"

Remember:

• Use "enough + noun" to specify sufficiency of quantity, like "enough money" or "enough time."
• Use "adjective + enough" to express adequacy or insufficiency of a quality, such as "tall enough" or "good enough."
• Maintain the correct preposition usage, such as "enough for somebody/something" or "enough to do something."
