PET - TOO, ENOUGH
Theory:
TOO and ENOUGH are used to describe the quantity, quality or size of something.
TOO means there is a problem with the quantity or quality.
EXAMPLE:
This soup is TOO HOT to eat.
This means the temperature is very high and cannot be eaten.
ENOUGH means that the quantity or quality is acceptable.
EXAMPLE:
This apple is ripe ENOUGH to eat.
This means it can be eaten.
ENOUGH can also be used with nouns.
EXAMPLE:
I don't have ENOUGH money.
In this case it works as a normal adjective.
NOT ENOUGH means the quantity or quality is not acceptable.
EXAMPLE:
This apple is NOT ripe ENOUGH to eat.
This means the apple is not ready to be eaten.
TOO MUCH means more than is acceptable for non countable nouns.
TOO MANY means more than is acceptable for countable nouns.
EXAMPLE:
There are TOO MANY people in this boat.
This means the boat will sink because the number of people (countable) is excessive.
This boat will sink because there is TOO MUCH water (not countable) in it.
TOO and ENOUGH are commonly used in transformation exercises.
EXAMPLE:
This car is too slow.
ENOUGH
This car is NOT fast ENOUGH.
TOO is sometimes confused with VERY, but they don't mean the same thing.
EXAMPLE:
This problem is VERY difficult, but I can solve it.
This problem is TOO difficult, so I can't solve it.
