Too Much, Too Many and Enough Exercises

Too much, too many, and not enough express problems with quantity — either excess or insufficiency. Use too much with uncountable nouns: "There is too much noise" (more noise than acceptable). Use too many with countable plural nouns: "There are too many people" (more people than the space allows). Both mean "more than is good, wanted, or needed." Enough means "as much as needed" and goes after adjectives ("old enough") but before nouns ("enough water").

Not enough is the opposite of "too much/many" — it means "less than needed": "We don't have enough chairs for everyone." A common mistake is the word order with adjectives and nouns: "enough old" is wrong — say "old enough"; "water enough" is wrong — say "enough water." Another frequent error is using "too much" with countable nouns: "too much people" should be "too many people." The "too much/many" vs "enough" contrast is practical — it appears in everyday complaints, requests, and descriptions, and it is regularly tested in Cambridge B1 Preliminary writing and speaking tasks.
