Hello,
Are these sentences are correct?

there are only a few windows====there aren't anough windows
it's not bright anough==========it's too dark
it has only one bathroom========there isn't enough bathroom
it's not convenient enought=====it's too incovenient
it's not spacious enough========it's too small
it's too old====================it's not modern enough
it isn't quite enough===========it's too noisy
there's only one parking space====there isn't enough parking space

enough is used only in the negative form?or can we say it's enough noisy ?
too+adjective is only used in affirmative tense?
thank you

Bonjour,

there are only a few windows====there aren't enough windows
it's not bright enough==========it's too dark
it has only one bathroom========there isn't enough bathroom (make plural - see #1)
it's not convenient enought=====it's too inconvenient
it's not spacious enough========it's too small
it's too old====================it's not modern enough
it isn't quiet enough===========it's too noisy
there's only one parking space====there isn't enough parking space (make plural - see #1)

enough is used only in the negative form?or can we say it's enough noisy ?
You can use 'enough' in affirmative forms:
The music/TV/radio is loud enough. (note placement). Personally, I would not use "noisy enough" because 'noisy' already means excessive noise.

Too+adjective is only used in affirmative tense?
You can use 'too+adj' with negative forms:
It's not too old. It's not too bad.
It's not too noisy.


Hope this helps!
