enough+noun means a quantity.
Rewrite the following sentences beginning with “it”. Remember that in the
English language such sentences are called “Cleft sentences” and they are
normally used to focus attention on a particular piece of information. (He started
the quarrel, not she. – It was he who started the quarrel, not she.)
a) Freda phoned last night, not Rita.
b) Angela signed the cheque, not her husband.
c) John arrived last Wednesday, not Thursday.
d) I wrote to Frank, not his brother.
e) I use a laptop computer, not a desktop.
Now you are offered to read two texts which both contain interesting
information from the world of science. You are to read them up to the end and
consider which one is worth being retold to your friend as a piece of valuable
information.
