Too and enough can modify both nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Too indicates that there is too much of a quality, or too much or too many of some object. Enough means that there is no need for more of a quality or object. Here are some examples:

  • She’s too sad these days. I wonder what’s wrong.
  • I don’t have enough sugar. Let’s go to the supermarket.
  • You’re driving too slowly!
  • There are too many students in this class. It should be smaller.
  • This test is difficult enough already!
  • We have too much pollution in the world.

Focus on Enough

Reading the examples, you may notice that enough is sometimes placed before the word it modifies. For example:

  • What do we need for dinner? I think we have enough vegetables, don’t we?
  • She feels that Tom has more than enough time to help.

In other examples, enough is placed after the word it modifies. For example:

  • You should ask John for help. He’s rich enough to help us all!
  • I don’t think they are smart enough to take that class.

Take a look at the words modified in the examples above. You will note that ‘enough’ is placed in front of the nouns ‘vegetables’ and ‘time.’ Enough is placed after the adjectives ‘rich’ and ‘smart.’

Rules for Enough

Adjective + Enough

Place enough directly after the adjective modified when using enough as an adverb to mean to the required degree or extent.

  • He’s not patient enough to understand children.
  • My friend wasn’t intelligent enough to take the job.

Adverb + Enough

Place enough directly after the adverb modified when using enough as an adverb to mean to the required degree or extent.

  • Peter drove slowly enough for us to look at all the houses.
  • The students studied carefully enough to do well on the exam.

Enough + Noun

Place enough directly before a noun to state that there is as much or as many as required.

  • Do you have enough money for your vacation?
  • I’m afraid we don’t have enough oranges to make the dessert.

Focus on Too

Reading the examples, you can notice that ‘too’ is used with nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. However, when using too with nouns, too is followed by ‘much’ or ‘many.’ The choice of too much or too many depends on whether the noun modified is countable or uncountable, also referred to as count and non-count nouns.

  • Anna is too concerned about her grades.
  • The boys are too crazy today!
  • We have too many books in this room.
  • There is too much information to learn these days.

Rules for Too

Too + Adjective

Place too before adjectives to state that something has an excess amount of quality.

  • He’s too angry about that incident.
  • Mary is too anxious about her cousin.

Too + Adverb

Place too before adverbs to state that someone is doing something to an excess or more than necessary.

  • That man is driving too slowly. I wonder if he’s been drinking.
  • You are speaking too rudely to that man. It’s important to be kind!

Too Much + Uncountable Noun

Place too much before uncountable nouns to state that there is an excess amount of an object.

  • We have too much time on our hands this weekend.
  • You’ve put too much sugar in the cake.

Too Many + Countable Noun

Place too many before plurals of countable nouns to state that there is an excess number of an object.

As you know, «too» is usually placed at the end of a sentence and it refers to the subject of the sentence. So far so good.

But many times, we need to refer to other parts of sentences (eg object, verb, place etc). For instance:
«James ate an apple in the car yesterday, too»

As we know, the «too» in this sentence refers to James(because it is the subject) and emphasizes that «Amongst other people who ate an apple, there was James«

But as I said, what I want to do is to refer to the other elements in this sentence; «the apple, in the car, yesterday, to eat.»

So can I change the location of «too» in the sentence to refer to the other elements. For instance can I use «too» in the following ways:

1-James ate, too, an apple in the car yesterday. (I want to emphasize that James did many actions yesterday. And among those actions he did the action of «eating»)

2-James ate an apple, too, in the car yesterday. (I want to emphasize that James ate many things yesterday. And among those was an «apple»)

3-James ate an apple in the car, too, yesterday.(I want to emphasize that James ate an apple in another place and he ate one «in the the car»)

4-James ate an apple in the car, yesterday, too.(I want to emphasize that James ate an apple other days and he did the same yesterday)

By the way, I know that in the 4th sentence, «too» would naturally refer to the subject, as it always does. And I also know that other locations of the «too» in 1, 2, 3 would not be acceptable.

So, my question is if I can’t use «too» as shown in the above 1,2,3 locations, how can we use English to refer to whatever element of a sentence we would like to refer to, regardless of it being «a subject, verb, object, place, etc»
