verb + sufficiently

用法筆記

More formal than 'enough'. Unlike 'enough', 'sufficiently' comes BEFORE the adjective, adverb, or past participle it modifies: ✅ 'sufficiently large' ❌ 'large sufficiently'. In everyday conversation, 'enough' is far more common; 'sufficiently' belongs in formal writing and careful speech.

常見錯誤

The water was hot sufficiently for tea.
The water was sufficiently hot for tea.
'sufficiently' must precede the adjective, unlike 'enough' which follows it.
I have sufficiently money.
I have enough money.
'sufficiently' is an adverb and cannot modify a noun; use the adjective 'sufficient' before a noun, or use 'enough'.
