Is there any case I can use time enough instead of enough time?

Hi, Yes. 'Time enough' is a variation of 'enough time'. Which sounds better can sometimes depend on the particular context.

- 'Time enough' is often followed by an infinitive verb, eg At the airport, I didn't have time enough to get a cup of coffee before boarding my plane.
- But 'I didn't get a cup of coffee because I didn't have enough time' sounds better to me than 'I didn't get a cup of coffee because I didn't have time enough'.
