6月10日号：Using Too and Enough

We use too and enough to talk about the degree of something. We can use them with adjectives, adverbs, nouns and pronouns/determiners.

Too means something is more or less than we want or need.

too + adjective/adverb

◆ This curry is too hot for me to eat.

◆ He speaks too quickly for me to understand.

too + many/much + noun

◆ There are too many people in that restaurant.

◆ This computer costs too much money.

too + many/much + of + pronoun/determiner

◆ He spends too much of his time playing video games.

◆ Don’t eat too many of those cookies or you’ll get a stomachache.

Enough is used to show that something is sufficient.

adjective/adverb + enough
