常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Enough"?Which "Enough" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is enough tall to reach the shelf.
✓He is tall enough to reach the shelf.
當 'enough' 修飾形容詞（如 tall）或副詞時，必須放在該形容詞或副詞的後面，而不是前面。
×We have time enough to finish the project.
✓We have enough time to finish the project.
當 'enough' 修飾名詞（如 time）時，通常放在名詞的前面。放在名詞後面（如 'time enough'）是較為古老或文學性的用法，在現代日常英語中較不常見。
×We don't have enough of time.
✓We don't have enough time.
當 'enough' 直接修飾不可數名詞（如 time, money, water）或複數可數名詞（如 books, people）時，通常不需要加 'of'。'Enough of' 後面通常接限定詞（如 the, these, my）或代名詞。
×The water is enough warm for swimming.
✓The water is warm enough for swimming.
再次強調，'enough' 修飾形容詞（warm）時必須後置。此外，'enough' 後常接 'to + 動詞原形' 或 'for + 名詞/V-ing' 來表示『足夠...以做某事』。
×The food is enough.
✓There is enough food.
在陳述某物『數量足夠』時，更自然、常見的句型是使用 'There is/are enough + 名詞'，而不是將 'enough' 單獨用作主詞補語（如 The food is enough）。後者聽起來不自然或語意不完整。
×I am very enough tired.
✓I am very tired. / I am tired enough.
'Enough' 和 'very' 都是程度修飾語，但不能一起使用來修飾同一個形容詞。'Very' 表示『非常』，放在形容詞前；'enough' 表示『足夠』，放在形容詞後。兩者語意和位置都不同。
