What is the usage of the word ENOUGH
  

Top answer

w=enough&ls=a . One point to notice is that it is can both pre-modify and post-modify: I don't have enough time to make my train I don't have time enough to make my train. However, this does not work in all cases, so pay attention to native use and be careful.

Generally, it's used before nouns (enough paper, enough books) and after adjectives (soft enough, tall enough) and adverbs (well enough, badly enough). Any negation comes before these combinations (not enough paper, not tall enough).
