Dear Student,

Its correct.

The word enough can be used as an adjective and as an adverb. When it is used as an adverb, it modifies an adjective or another adverb. Note that enough goes after the adjective/adverb it modifies. This can cause confusion because when enough is used as an adjective, it goes before the noun it modifies.

More Examples-

1. I didn’t run fast enough to catch the bus.

2. She is old enough to know better.

3. We have bought enough milk.

4. She was prudent enough to lock the car.

5. He was stupid enough to trust her.

6. Is it warm enough for you?

7. Have we got enough money for buying the tickets?

8. Many tablet computers are small enough to fit in your pocket.

9. We haven’t got enough chairs.

10. We haven’t got enough blue paint.
