Fill in the blanks with enough, so or too.
1These bananas are still green; they are not ............... to be eaten.
Wrong!
Use "ripe enough" because enough comes after the adjective it modifies.
2They are not ............... to buy a house.
Wrong!
Use "rich enough" because enough after an adjective means sufficient for the purpose.
3The coat was ............... for me to buy.
Wrong!
Use "too expensive" because too means more than is possible or acceptable.
4She is ............... beautiful that everyone notices her.
Wrong!
Use "so" in the pattern so + adjective + that-clause.
5It is ............... expensive.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both "so" and "too" can modify expensive here, but too suggests a negative extreme.
6She is ............... to understand this lesson.
Wrong!
Use "too young" before a to-infinitive to show that someone is not old enough to do something.
7She is ............... to know better.
Wrong!
Use "old enough" because enough after an adjective means sufficient in age.
8He was ............... to sit up by himself.
Wrong!
Use "too weak" before a to-infinitive to show that the action was not possible.
9He was ............... weak that he could not even sit up.
Wrong!
Use "so" in the pattern so + adjective + that-clause.
10The wall was ............... for me to climb.
Wrong!
Use "too high" because it means the wall was higher than I could climb.
11The soup is ............... for me to enjoy.
Wrong!
Use "too salty" because it means the soup is saltier than is pleasant for me. "Very" cannot be followed by "for me to...", and "enough" goes after an adjective, not before it.
12He was ............... to realize his mistake.
Wrong!
Use "smart enough" because enough comes after the adjective it modifies.
