Too/enough

Yesterday morning I wanted to make a cake but I didn´t have enough flour, so I went to the supermarket and got some. When I arrived home, I realised I didn´t have enough sugar; it was too late to go back to the supermarket, so I knocked on my neighbour´s door and he lent me a little. Once in the kitchen, while I was mixing the eggs and the flour, I dropped the sugar bowl and put too much sugar in the mixture! What a mess! I had to add more flour, but I didn´t have enough milk, so I knocked on my neighbour´s door again and he kindly gave me some. While I was going home, I tripped over a stone and I spilt the milk on the ground. Now I didn´t have enough milk to add to the mixture. I went back to my neighbour´s house. He was having a tea party with some friends and invited me to stay for a while. The tea was too hot for me to drink and asked for some cold milk. The others looked at me in amazement and said, "Is the tea not cold enough for you to drink? We always have it very hot in these meetings, it´s a tradition". I had it as fast as I could and left the room. On my way home I stopped at a bakery and bought a cake. I promised myself not to try to make a cake any more in my life.

ACTIVITY: Write sentences of your own and rephrase them as the example by using too and enough:

                    The suitcase is not light enough for me to lift
