易错句子The room is enough big for three people.
正确表达The room is big enough for three people.
enough 作副词表示“足够地”时必须放在形容词之后。汉语“够大”的语序是“够+形容词”,直译过来就容易把 enough 放到形容词前面;英语里固定是“形容词+enough”,所以要把 big 移到 enough 前面,而不是说 enough big。

易错句子We don't have enough of time to finish the project.
正确表达We don't have enough time to finish the project.
enough 直接放在名词前表示“足够的(数量)”时不加 of。只有后面接代词或带限定词的名词短语时才用 enough of,如 enough of it、enough of this。汉语“足够的时间”容易让学生以为要加 of,其实直接说 enough time,所以要删去 of。
反义:足够地 → 不足地;表示未达到所需程度
反义:足够地 → 不充分地;表示数量或程度上不够
