Floss
Is the string called a floss or a string of floss? [for teeth]
Is this sentence correct? Could you correct please?
[It is] Used as an addition to toothbrushing as part of regular oral hygiene flossing can reduce gingivitis and halitosis compared to toothbrushing alone.
How would you explain
Could you rewrite this for me?
I have dental floss at home. Every time I want to use it, I pull out a string of floss and rip it to the length I want.
All I hope is that when I pull out the last of the floss that the string will be long enough [so that] I can use it.
Would you say
long enough that I can use it
long enough so that I can use it
long enough so I can use it
After 'enough' would you put 'so' , 'that' or 'so that'?
EX Healthy enough [so [that]
Rich enough [so [that]
Thank you for your explanation
