The company reacted too slowly to the rise in prices. Enough goes after an adjective or adverb. The water isn’t hot enough. It needs to be boiling. NOT enough hot You didn’t put the screws in tightly enough. NOT enough tightly Too many, too much and enough go before a noun. No wonder you’re tired. You’ve been going to too many parties. Andrew spends too much time working. There’ll be fifteen people for coffee. Have we got enough cups? Everything is so expensive. Did you bring enough money? We use many with a plural noun and much with an uncountable noun (see Unit 95.1). Compare these examples with enough. After an adjective: The coffee isn’t strong enough. Before a noun: You didn’t put enough coffee in. We leave out the noun if the meaning is clear without it. Just add a little water. Not too much. We’ll need fifteen cups. Have we got enough?
