GRAMMAR
enough comes after adjectives, never before : This one is big enough (NOT enough big). | Is it warm enough for you?
enough usually comes before nouns : We haven't got enough time. | Are there enough plates?
Sometimes people use enough after nouns in particular expressions, but this is not very usual : There will be time enough for that later.
!! Nouns used with enough must be plural or uncountable, never singular : There aren't enough books (NOT enough book). | She has enough money to live on.
