Mục lục bài viết
I. Định nghĩa Cấu trúc Enough
Enough trong tiếng Anh có nghĩa là “đủ”. Tuy nhiên, đôi khi trong một số trường hợp, “enough” lại dùng để ám chỉ số lượng hoặc kích cỡ của một vật vừa phải hoặc thích hợp. Tùy vào hoàn cảnh mà “enough” mang nghĩa khác nhau.
Vị trí của enough trong câu:
- Đứng sau tính từ và trạng từ
- Đứng trước danh từ
→ Enough sẽ có những cách dùng khác nhau tương ứng với mỗi vị trí.
Ví dụ:
- I don’t have enough money to pay for this meal.
(Tôi không có đủ tiền để trả bữa này.) - My mom is strong enough to raise 4 children all by herself.
(Mẹ tôi đủ mạnh mẽ để tự mình nuôi 4 đứa con.)
II. Cấu trúc Enough và cách sử dụng
Tùy thuộc vào ngữ cảnh và vị trí mà enough mang nghĩa khác nhau và có cách dùng khác nhau. Cùng tìm hiểu cụ thể các trường hợp Cấu trúc Enough và các dùng của chúng ngay dưới đây nhé:
1. Cấu trúc Enough với tính từ
Cấu trúc Enough được sử dụng sau tính từ kết hợp với nó, đi theo sau là động từ nguyên thể có “to”
S + tobe (not) + adj + enough + (for sbd) + to V |
Ví dụ:
- My sister is qualified enough to become a university lecturer.
(Chị tôi đủ tiêu chuẩn để trở thành giảng viên đại học.) - Our house is not big enough to throw a party.
(Nhà mình không đủ rộng để tổ chức tiệc đâu.)
2. Cấu trúc Enough với danh từ
S + V + enough + Noun (danh từ) + (for s.o/ s.th) + to V |
Ví dụ:
- The boy did not have enough time to complete the test.
(Thằng bé không đủ thời gian để làm xong bài thi.) - My house doesn’t have enough room for 10 people.
(Nhà tớ không đủ chỗ cho 10 người đâu.)
3. Cấu trúc Enough với trạng từ
Trong cấu trúc Enough với trạng từ thì enough đứng sau trạng từ, theo sau đó là động từ nguyên thể có “to”
S + V + Adj (trạng từ) + enough + (for s.o/ s.th) + to V |
Ví dụ:
- He ran fast enough to take the last train.
(Anh ấy chạy đủ nhanh để bắt kịp chuyến tàu cuối cùng.) - You need to eat slowly enough for the food to be fully digested.
(Bạn phải ăn đủ chậm để thức ăn được tiêu hoá hết.)
III. Một số lưu ý khi dùng Cấu trúc Enough
Khi sử dụng Enough để nối câu, có một số quy tắc bạn cần phải nắm vững dưới đây:
Quy tắc 1: Nếu như trước tính từ, trạng từ trong câu có các trạng từ: too, so, very, quite, extremely…hoặc trước danh từ có much, many, a lot of, lots of → lược bỏ những từ đó đi rồi mới sử dụng “enough”
Ví dụ:
- He is very intelligent. He can become the winner of the competition.
→ He is intelligent enough to become the winner of the competition.
(Anh ấy đủ thông minh để trở thành người chiến thắng cuộc thi.)
- I run so fast. I can be on time for the bus
→ I run fast enough to be on time for the bus.
(Tôi chạy đủ nhanh để đến kịp chuyến xe buýt.)
Quy tắc 2: Khi nối câu bằng Cấu trúc Enough, nếu chủ ngữ ở hai câu giống nhau thì lược bỏ đi “for s.o”. Tuy nhiên nếu chủ ngữ câu sau có ý chung chung ta cũng có thể lược bỏ.
Ví dụ:
- The weather is very nice for us. We can travel on it.
→ The weather is nice enough (for us) to travel on it.
(Thời tiết đủ đẹp để đi du lịch trên đó.). - He is short. He can’t take that book on shelf
→ He isn’t tall enough to take that book on shelf.
(Anh ấy không đủ cao để lấy cuốn sách trên kệ.)
Trường hợp này chủ thể không xác định rõ là ai, hoặc 2 câu có chung một chủ thể là “We” nên có thể lược “for us”.
Quy tắc 3: Khi sử dụng Cấu trúc Enough để nối câu, nếu chủ ngữ của câu thứ nhất trùng và tân ngữ của câu 2 (là một) thì khi nối hai câu ta loại bỏ phần tân ngữ của câu sau.
Ví dụ:
- The test is very easy. I can do it.
→ The test is easy enough for me to do easily.
(Bài kiểm tra đủ dễ để tôi làm được.) - The water is quite cold. I can’t drink it.
→ The water isn’t warm enough for me to drink.
(Nước không đủ ấm để tôi uống.)
→ Ở đây tân ngữ “it” bị lược bỏ vì nó trùng với chủ ngữ “the test” ở phía trước.
