A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Prepare a simple contrast such as a bag that is too heavy versus a bag that is light enough. This one-page sheet has no exercise or answer key.
- Read the meanings: too expresses more than is wanted or needed, while enough means sufficient rather than an exact quantity.
- Compare too + adjective, too much + uncountable noun and too many + plural noun. Contrast adjective + enough with enough + noun.
- Read the examples and explain how We have enough food differs from The food is good enough; include negative forms such as not fast enough.
Support and extension
Support with countable / uncountable noun examples and a word-order chart. Extend by describing what would make an unsuitable object suitable, rather than treating too as simply very.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
