TOO AND ENOUGH 

Too and enough indicate degree. They are used with adjectives.

Too means more than what is needed.

Enough means su cient.

For example:
He is too old to play football with the kids.
Dave is intelligent enough to do the write thing.
You're not working fast enough
I don't have enough time.
He has too many friends.
She has got too much patience.

Let's see the following video to make this clearer:

How to use 'too' and 'enough' in English

So, we use of too and enough as follows:

1.Enough precedes adjectives and adverbs:

He isn't old enough to watch this program.
We're not walking quickly enough.

2.Enough may also precede nouns:

We have enough money .
I have not got enough money to buy this computer.

3.Too comes before adjectives and adverbs:

It's too hot to wear that coat.
I was driving too fast.
4. Too may also come before nouns when it is used with the expressions too much and too many.

Too much is used before uncountable nouns.

There is too much salt in this food.
Too many is used before countable nouns
There are too many students in this classroom.

Now, let's practice:

Fill in the spaces with too or enough.
1. I left the coffee for a minute to cool because it was   too   hot to drink.

2. He wasn't strong   enough   to lift that heavy box.

3. There aren't  enough  policemen in our town.

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS REVIEW

We use both of these tenses for nished and un nished actions.

The present perfect simple can be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about un nished actions that started in the past and are still true
in the present. It's often used with stative verbs:
I've known John for three years.

The present perfect continuous can also be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about un nished actions that started in the past and
are still true in the present. (Of course, we don't use the present perfect continuous with stative verbs):

She's been living here for three years.

Sometimes, there is a difference in meaning:

1: The present perfect continuous can be used to emphasise the length of time that has passed. The present perfect simple is generally
neutral:

They've been waiting for hours! (This emphasises the length of time).
They've waited for hours. (This doesn't emphasise the length of time).

2: On the other hand, the present perfect simple is often used when we're talking about how much or how many. This isn't possible with the
present perfect continuous:
She's drunk three cups of coffee this morning.
She's drunk at least a litre of coffee today. (NOT: she's been drinking three cups of coffee this morning).

3: The present perfect continuous often focuses on the action itself, while the present perfect simple focuses on the fact that the action is
completed:

I've been reading the book you recommended. (I'm enjoying it, but I'm not nished).
I've read the book you recommended. (I've nished it, so we can talk about it).

Let's see the following video to remember some more characteristics of these two tenses:

PAST PERFECT SIMPLE AND PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS REVIEW

We use the Past Perfect to indicate that a completed action happened earlier than something else.

By the time I was 15, my father had taught me how to drive a car.
When you arrived, I had already nished my meal.

Now look at the sentence below:

Jane had been browsing the Internet for about fteen minutes when she suddenly noticed it was completely dark outside.

We cannot use the Past Perfect in the sentence above because the action was not completed. (In other words, she did not stop browsing
the Internet immediately after looking out of the window)
The Past Perfect Continuous often creates a kind of background for the rest of the sentence.
To sum it up in one sentence: the Past Perfect emphasizes completion (or the result of a completed action) while the Past Perfect
Continuous emphasizes the duration or activity of an action.
One nal example:

By the time we arrived, he had left the house.

By the time we arrived, he had been playing poker with his friends for 2 hours.

So, let's see a video to understand this in a better way:

Past Perfect Continuous vs. Past Perfect

following text. Use the verbs in brackets and do not use any contractions.

starting to wonder if she was ready for marriage. And with the wedding only twenty days away, she needed to make up her mind soon.
Everything in Julie's life  

had been going

 (go) well until her world fell apart just a month before. A large company  
had offered

 (offer) David an important position that would require him to move to France. As his wife, Julie would have to go, too. Why hadn't he
discussed his decision with her?

Although Julie  
had always wanted

 (always want) to live abroad she felt very confused. Was she ready to move halfway across the world, leaving behind her friends and
family and the only home she had ever known? If the answer was no, was she ready to say goodbye to the only man she

 (ever love)?

FIRST AND SECOND CONDITIONAL REVIEW

Uses of the Conditionals

First conditional
Nature: Open condition, what is said in the condition is possible.
Time: This condition refers either to present or to future time.
For example:
If he is late, we will have to go without him.
If my mother knows about this, we are in serious trouble.

Second conditional
Nature: unreal (impossible) or improbable situations.
Time: present; the TENSE is past, but we are talking about the present, now.
For example:

If I knew her name, I would tell you.

If I were you, I would tell my father.

Compare:
If I become president, I will change the social security system. (Said by a presidential candidate)
If I became president, I would change the social security system. (Said by a schoolboy: improbable)
If we win this match, we are quali ed for the semi nals.
If I won a million pounds, I would stop teaching. (improbable)

 Let's see a video to explain this better:
