Too and Enough
We want to upgrade our office systems. The current software is too slow and too complicated for the team. Our budget is not big enough to buy the premium version. We looked at three options. Option A is too expensive. Option B is not reliable enough. Option C is good enough for now - it is fast, affordable, and clear enough for everyone to use. We will go with Option C and review again in six months.
💡 Did you know? Many English learners say 'very enough' - but this is incorrect! 'Enough' already implies a standard. You simply say 'good enough' or 'not good enough'.
