Too vs Enough Easy Exercises

Too and enough are used to talk about degree — whether something is more than needed or sufficient. Too comes before an adjective and means "more than is good or necessary": "The coffee is too hot" (I cannot drink it yet). Enough comes after an adjective and means "as much as is needed": "The coffee is cool enough" (I can drink it now). This word order is the key rule — many learners put "enough" before the adjective by mistake.

Notice that too always suggests a negative result — something cannot happen because there is too much of a quality. "She is too young" means she cannot do something because of her age. Enough can be positive or negative: "He is old enough" (positive — he can do it) or "He isn't old enough" (negative — he cannot). With nouns, enough comes before the noun: "We have enough time." This difference between adjective position and noun position is frequently tested in Cambridge A2 and B1 examinations.
