Tips for filling the gaps (rules explained in other words):

First, you have to identify the word that is quantified (noun or adjective). Keep in mind that a
quantified noun may be preceded by several adjectives!
You also have to look at the position of the gap.

• If the gap is after the word (an adjective), you have to use “enough”. In the other situations,
the quantifiers stay before the word!

• If the gap is before the quantified word (an adjective), you have to use “too”.

• If the context suggests excess and the word is in plural (so it’s a countable noun), you have to
use “too many”. Pay attention to irregular plurals!

• If the context suggests excess and the word is in singular (an uncountable noun), you have to
use “too much”.

Always pay attention to the context. Keep in mind that lack of excess doesn’t necessarily mean
insufficiency.
