Have you had enough?

OK, I posted about this topic way back in 2009! you can see the original entry here. Today, I will keep it very simple.

When using the word enough it comes BEFORE nouns but AFTER adjectives.

I was glad I brought enough money shopping. I almost ran out (of money).

I didn't eat enough food this morning.

She is pretty enough but kind of boring to talk to.

I am not tall enough so the coach said I can't be on the basketball team.

I can't get enough of this delicious steak! It's addictive!

A: Have you had enough pizza? Would you like some more?

B: No thanks, I'm fine.

Enough means that you are satisfied and don't need anymore. Of course in NEGATIVE sentences it means you aren't satisfied and want more~! To run out of something means to have none left.

Have a nice weekend,

Enough~!

Today, I will talk about how to use the word enough correctly. In Japanese, enough is usually translated as "juubun" (十分, じゅうぶん).

Now one of the most common ways to use enough is when someone is serving you food(like in a cafeteria) or pouring you a drink. When they have given you enough food or drink you can say:

"That's enough."

You might also hear this when someone is pouring you a drink:

A: Say when.
B: That's enough.

or

A: Say when.
B: When. (as a joke^_-)

The grammatically correct way to use enough is

-BEFORE nouns and

-AFTER adjectives

For example:

I don't have enough money.

Money is a noun and so enough comes BEFORE money.

She was not pretty enough for me so I broke up with her.

Pretty is an adjective so it comes AFTER enough.

Does everyone understand? If you have any questions or want to try and write some example sentences please post them on my message board on the left side of the screen!
