Vocabulary: quantity: enough/ more/ less

Judgements about BIG or LITTLE QUANTITIES are very subjective; similarly, the notions of

having "ENOUGH", or varied quantities, whether they're considered TOO BIG or TOO LITTLE,

totally depend on individuals! Better get used to these expressions...

ENOUGH! MORE THAN ENOUGH! LESS THAN ENOUGH! 

- enough sugar

- more than enough

- I've got plenty of time/ of apples

- She's got plenty/ she's got quite enough

TOO MUCH? TOO MANY? 

 - You sleep/ work too much

- Too old/ quickly

- You've put too much salt! 

- He made too many mistakes

- very good/ quickly indeed

MORE? or LESS?

- I want more

- Three/ four times as much

- The one who earns (the) most

- It took no more than an hour

- He's at most 75/ He's 75 at the most

- There are two more chairs/ there are two extra chairs

- We need another two chairs/ we need two more chairs

- An extra plate/ an additional plate

- The one who works (the) least

- It weighs no less than 50 kilos

- She's got at least 5 cats/ she's got 5 cats at the least

- There are two chairs missing/ we are two chairs short

"MORE AND MORE..." // "LESS AND LESS..."// THE MORE... THE MORE; THE LESS... THE LESS... 

- It's getting more and more difficult...

- It was getting bigger and bigger... 

- The more he has, the more he wants

- The more he works, the less successful he is 

- There are two chairs missing/ we are two chairs short

Let's be satisfied with what is ENOUGH... without trying to reach what is TOO MUCH or

TOO MANY! ... except for your scores at your test, naturally!  Go for it!
