Theory

so and such

Both so … that and such … that are used to show the results of a situation or action.

Form	Example
with an adjective: so + adjective + that	Al is so good that he was made manager.

too and enough

Both too and enough are used to talk about how much or how little of something there is. We use too to describe the negative effect of having more than necessary. We use enough to describe the effects of having/not having the right amount.

Form	Example
with an adjective: too + adjective (+ full infinitive) adjective + enough (+ full infinitive)	It's too cold to work in the garden. Carol isn't patient enough to work as a teacher.
with a noun: too + many/much + noun (+ full infinitive) enough + noun (+ full infinitive)	Jonty works too many hours to have any hobbies. We don't have enough money to pay our bills.
with an adverb: too + adverb (+ full infinitive) adverb + enough (+ full infinitive)	I got there too late to see the manager. Jack did the work quickly enough to finish half an hour early.

Watch out!

• Too does not mean the same as very. We only use too when we are describing something negative.
✓ I've got too much work. I can't come out tonight.
✗ ~~This job is great because you get paid too much money.~~

• Enough always comes after the adjective.
✓ You're not old enough to work here.
✗ ~~You're not enough old to work here.~~

• Both too and enough can be followed by for.
✓ It's too hot for me in this office.
✓ You're not old enough for the army.
