⚡ The 'Enough' Pattern

In this text, we see a very important word for A2 learners: Enough.

We use it to say if we have the right amount of something. It usually comes after the thing we are talking about.

How it works in the story:

  • Powerenough power (The right amount of electricity)
  • Peopleenough people (The right number of workers)

The 'Not Enough' Flip When we add not, it means we have a problem. Look at these simple shifts:

Enough power \rightarrow Not enough power (We need more!) Enough people \rightarrow Not enough people (We need more help!)

Quick Tip: If you want to say you are hungry, you can say: "I do not have enough food."
