Too, Enough and So…That

May 29, 2017 - A2pdf

The adverbs too and enough are used to indicate excess or sufficiency.

In these sentence structures, enough is always placed after the adjective it qualifies while too is placed before the adjective. Enough and too are followed by infinitive phrases (to + verb). Sometimes they are also followed by a phrase beginning with for.
