Too vs. enough
Could you check my reasoning, please?
I feel in my gut I can check the use of too and enough in such sentences by splitting them in two:
1) The rain is too heavy for us to go out. => The rain is too heavy. We do NOT go out. (the negative meaning like in too good to be true)
2) The rain is heavy enough for us to stay indoors. => The rain is heavy enough. We stay indoors.
But this negative context boggles my sleepy mind! Can you check the logic of the split?
3) The rain is not too heavy for us to go out. => The rain is NOT too heavy. We go out.
4) The rain is not heavy enough for us to stay indoors. => The rain is NOT heavy enough. We do NOT stay indoors.
and - I know I'm pushing way too far:
5) The rain is not heavy enough to put out the fire. => The rain is NOT heavy enough. It canNOT put out the fire.
