Do you have ______ a vacation right now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → enough money to take
Complete sentence: Do you have enough money to take a vacation right now? "Money" is a noun and the purpose is "take a vacation", so the natural form is enough money to take.
| Option | Meaning and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) money enough to take | Putting enough after the noun is old-fashioned and sounds odd in modern English. Enough goes after adjectives (old enough), but before nouns. | She is old enough to travel alone. |
| (2) enough money to take (answer) | With a noun, enough comes before it: enough money, enough time. With an adjective or adverb, enough comes after it: old enough, fast enough. The purpose that follows is a to-infinitive: enough money to take a vacation. | We have enough time to finish the project. |
| (3) enough money for take | "For" is a preposition and must be followed by a noun or an -ing form, never a bare verb like "take". | This bag is for carrying books. |
| (4) money enough for taking | Enough is placed after the noun. "For taking" is used where English uses the to-infinitive after enough. | He saved enough money to buy a bicycle. |
