TOO & NOT ENOUGH

We use TOO MUCH (uncountable) or TOO MANY (countable) to say that there is/are
more than what we need or want of something.

This queue is very long. There are too many people.

I don’t like this pasta. You have added too much salt.

We use NOT ENOUGH to say that there is/are less than what we need or want of
something.

There areN’T ENOUGH cakes in the shop. They will have to make more.
There isN’T ENOUGH Coca-Cola for the party. You need to buy more.

We also use NOT ENOUGH with adjectives to say that the quality or quantity of
something is not sufficient.

When we use an adjective we put it in between NOT and ENOUGH.

This chair is NOT BIG ENOUGH. I am very tall. (we don’t say NOT ENOUGH BIG)

We also use ENOUGH in affirmative sentences to say that something is sufficient.

Remember we say ENOUGH + noun and adjective + ENOUGH.

I like this bag for the present. It’s BIG ENOUGH to carry all the books.
