Default fool enough, fools enough
Could you please tell me if we can say:

We were fools enough to believe him. (I'm imitating the sentence in the dictionary: I was fool enough to believe him.)

Thank you in advance.

Default Re: fool enough, fools enough
I would say:
We were foolish to believe him.

Or:

It was foolish of us to believe him.

Does that help?
