    Vocabulary: quantity: enough/ more/ less


    When dealing with QUANTITIES, everything may easily become a matter of appreciation.

     

     

     

    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+ noun  
     Big/ small enough

     More and more... 
     Less and less... 
     The more... the more...                                                                                                       
     The more... the less...

    - 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!
