I think "enough" is the direct object of the verb "did", which would make it a noun, not an adverb.

Enough + Nouns..................................enough Books

Adjectives + Enough..........................good Enough

"Adequate" is close in meaning to "enough" and "sufficient". It shows that something is good enough or large enough for a particular purpose:

e.g.
His computer skills were adequate for the type of work required of him.

The negative form of "adequate" is "inadequate", while for 'enough" we have to use "not".
e.g.
We don`t have enough milk for coffee. It`s not enough.

Enough....I know some exsamples.
This is enough. I use this phrase when I argue with my friend, I wan to stop the argument. Is it Ok ?:?:
