Hello everyone.
One dictionary says (1) is correct, and (2) is incorrect. On the other hand, another dictionary says both sentences are incorrect. I wonder which comment is true?
(1)Two loaves of bread are enough.
(2)The bread is enough. |

Hello Akihiko
I can imagine using both sentences:
1. Planning a tea party (1)
"So...there'll be ten visitors, in total. How many loaves of bread shall I get? Three?"
"No, we don't need three. Two loaves are enough."
2. Planning a tea party (2)
"Okay...I'll get two loaves, then. What about rolls? Should I get some rolls as well?"
"No, don't get any rolls � the bread is enough."
Have a good Sunday,
MrP |
