Syntax
Hello everyone,
Is the following request/requirement correct?
- Paraphrase/Rearrange or Reorder the sentence "He is too short to touch the ceiling." by using "enough" to provide the same meaning.
- He is not tall enough to touch the ceiling.
Could you comment on the request if it is OK or not?
Kind regards,
JA
