| I wonder if we can suppose these words as adverbs of quantity: 1.There are too many cars in the streets. 2.There isn't enough taxi servce in our city. |

| 'too' (in meaning similar to 'more') -adverb: more than is needed or wanted; more than is suitable or enough 'enough' and 'many/much' are determiners and may function in varied grammatical categories. |

TOO - adverb of degree - it means 'more than is necessary or useful'[modifies the adjective "many"] ENOUGH - it goes before nouns, and means 'as much as is necessary'. In this case it is not an adverb, but a 'determiner' meaning sufficient - modifies the noun "service". Enough can be an adverb meaning 'to the necessary degree' and it goes after adjectives and adverbs. Example: Is your coffee hot enough? (adjective) He didn't work hard enough. (adverb) Additionally, Enough modifies both countable and uncountable nouns. "There is enough money to buy a car." "I have enough books to read." Last edited by Teia; 06-Sep-2007 at 20:42. |
