TOO AND ENOUGH 
Puntúa 25,00
Too and enough indicate degree. They are used with adjectives.
sobre 25,00 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.

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:

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.

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

Now, let's practice:

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS
Puntúa 25,00
REVIEW
sobre 25,00 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:
 

Present Perfect Continuous vs. Present Perfect

PAST PERFECT SIMPLE AND PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS REVIEW
Puntúa 25,00
We use the Past Perfect to indicate that a completed action happened earlier than something else.
sobre 25,00 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:
