Floss teeth
How would you say the sentence?
I have a roll of dental floss at home. Every time I want to use it, I draw a length of floss and rip it to the length I want.
All I hope is that when I draw 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
