Adverb[edit]

enough

Sufficiently.

I cannot run fast enough to catch up to them.

Are you man enough to fight me?

You’ve worked enough; rest for a bit.
- 1913, Joseph C. Lincoln, chapter 5, in Mr. Pratt’s Patients:
  
  Of all the queer collections of humans outside of a crazy asylum, it seemed to me this sanitarium was the cup winner. […] When you’re well enough off so’s you don’t have to fret about anything but your heft or your diseases you begin to get queer, I suppose.
- 1918, W[illiam] B[abington] Maxwell, chapter XVI, in The Mirror and the Lamp, Indianapolis, Ind.: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, →OCLC:
  
  The preposterous altruism too! […] Resist not evil. It is an insane immolation of self—as bad intrinsically as fakirs stabbing themselves or anchorites warping their spines in caves scarcely large enough for a fair-sized dog.
- 1963, Margery Allingham, chapter 15, in The China Governess‎^[1]:
  
  ‘No,’ said Luke, grinning at her. ‘You’re not dull enough! […] What about the kid’s clothes? I don’t suppose they were anything to write home about, but didn’t you keep anything? A bootee or a bit of embroidery or anything at all?’
Fully; quite; used after adjectives to express slight augmentation of the positive degree, and sometimes equivalent to very.

He is ready enough to accept the offer.
- 1598–1599 (first performance), William Shakespeare, “Much Adoe about Nothing”, in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies […] (First Folio), London: […] Isaac Iaggard, and Ed[ward] Blount, published 1623, →OCLC, [Act II, scene i]:
  
  I know you well enough; you are Signior Antonio.
- 1910, Emerson Hough, chapter I, in The Purchase Price: Or The Cause of Compromise, Indianapolis, Ind.: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, →OCLC:
  
  “[…] it is not fair of you to bring against mankind double weapons ! Dangerous enough you are as woman alone, without bringing to your aid those gifts of mind suited to problems which men have been accustomed to arrogate to themselves.”
Used after certain adverbs to emphasise that a quality is notable, unexpected, etc.

Talking of Mr Smith, funnily enough, I saw him just the other day.

I left my camera on the train, but luckily enough someone handed it in to lost property.

Usage notes[edit]

As an adverb, in modern English, enough almost always follows the verb, adjective or adverb that it qualifies. In older language, cases where it precedes the modified word, e.g. «He was enough satisfied» or «I was not enough recompensed», may be seen.

If someone fills your glass almost to the top, that’s enough. If you ate one slice of pizza but are still hungry, you haven’t had enough. Although enough has to do with the amount of something, it isn’t precise like a number.

enough

1. after adjectives and adverbs

You use enough after an adjective or adverb to say that someone or something has as much of a quality as is needed.

It’s big enough.

We have a long enough list.

The student isn’t trying hard enough.

If you want to say who the person or thing is acceptable to, you add a prepositional phrase beginning with for.

That’s good enough for me.

Is the soup hot enough for you?

If someone has as much of a quality as they need in order to do something, you add a to-infinitive after enough.

The children are old enough to travel to school on their own.

You can also use a to-infinitive after enough to say that something has as much of a quality as is needed for someone to do something with it. If you want to make it clear who you are talking about, you can add a prepositional phrase beginning with for. For example, you can say ‘The boat was close enough to touch‘ or ‘The boat was close enough for me to touch it‘.

The bananas are ripe enough to eat.

The music was just loud enough for us to hear it.

Be Careful!
Don’t use a that-clause after enough when you are saying what is needed for something to be possible. Don’t say, for example, ‘The bananas are ripe enough that we can eat them‘.

Enough is sometimes used after an adjective to confirm or emphasize that something or someone has a particular quality.

It’s a common enough dilemma.

When you make a statement of this kind, you often add a second statement that contrasts with it.

She’s likeable enough, but very ordinary.

2. used as a determiner

Enough is used in front of the plural form of a countable noun to say that there are as many things or people as are needed.

You can also use enough in front of an uncountable noun to say that there is as much of something as is needed.

We had enough room to store all the information.

He hasn’t had enough exercise.

3. ‘enough of’

Don’t use enough immediately in front of a noun phrase beginning with a determiner, or in front of a pronoun. Instead you use enough of.

All parents worry about whether their child is getting enough of the right foods.

They haven’t had enough of it.

When you use enough of in front of a plural noun or pronoun, you use a plural form of a verb with it.

Eventually enough of these shapes were collected.

There were enough of them to fill a large box.

When you use enough of in front of a singular or uncountable noun or a singular pronoun, you use a singular form of a verb with it.

Is there enough of a market for this product?

There is enough of it for everybody.

4. used as a pronoun

Enough can be used on its own as a pronoun.

I’ve got enough to worry about.

Enough has been said about this already.

5. ‘not enough’

Don’t use enough, or enough and a noun, as the subject of a negative sentence. Don’t say, for example, ‘Enough people didn’t come‘. You say ‘Not enough people came’.

Not enough has been done to help them.

Not enough attention is paid to young people.

6. modifying adverbs

You can use adverbs such as nearly, almost, just, hardly, and quite in front of enough.

At present there is just enough to feed them.

There was hardly enough time to have lunch.

You can also use these adverbs in front of an expression consisting of an adjective and enough.

We are all nearly young enough to be mistaken for students.

She is just old enough to work.

7. used with sentence adverbials

You can use enough after sentence adverbials like interestingly or strangely to draw attention to a surprising quality in what you are saying.

ENOUGH

Agreement

• When used as an adjective or pronoun, bastante, like suficiente, agrees with the noun it describes or refers to:

Are there enough potatoes? ¿Hay bastantes patatas? Eggs? Yes, there are enough ¿Huevos? Sí, hay bastantes

• Don’t add an «s» to the adverb bastante (i.e. when it modifies an adjective or verb other than

ser

parecer

They’re not poor enough to get money from the State No son lo bastante pobres (como) para recibir dinero del Estado We’ve studied these photographs enough Ya hemos estudiado bastante estas fotografías
After verbs — adverbial Use

• When a purpose is implied or stated, translate using lo suficiente or, especially in affirmative phrases, lo bastante:

We know enough to be able to say that these techniques are safe Sabemos lo suficiente or lo bastante (como) para afirmar que estas técnicas son seguras

• When no purpose is implied or stated, translate using either bastante or lo suficiente:

He says he hasn’t had enough to eat Dice que no ha comido bastante or no ha comido lo suficiente We shall never be able to thank you enough Nunca se lo podremos agradecer bastante or lo suficiente
After adjectives and adverbs

• Translate using lo + bastante + ((ADJECTIVE/ADVERB)) or (lo) suficientemente + ((ADJECTIVE/ADVERB)):

He isn’t good enough to take part in the Olympics No es lo bastante or (lo) suficientemente bueno (como) para participar en las Olimpiadas She couldn’t run fast enough to catch him No pudo correr lo bastante or (lo) suficientemente rápido (como) para atraparlo No pudo correr lo bastante or lo suficiente (como) para atraparlo
To be enough

• To be enough can often be translated using bastar:

That’s enough! ¡Basta ya! That’s enough to feed an army! Con eso basta para dar de comer a un regimiento

NOTE As bastar is an impersonal verb, it often takes an indirect object:

Promises are no longer enough for him Ya no le bastan las promesas That’s enough for him Con eso le basta
