ENOUGH confusion
Posted: 24 Oct 2011, 10:41
I'm trying to plan a lesson on enough (and other quantifiers).
but I've hit a wall, as Swan/ Murphey etc don't seem to refer to the contrast:
I don't sleep enough.
I don't get enough sleep.
In which- am i right?- sleep is in the first sentence a verb and in the second a noun?
Probably it's just my basic grammar knowledge, but I can't find any explanation as to the positioning of enough in these sentences...
Big thanks for any help.
