In English Grammar also used word Enough with verbs , but word enough comes after verbs.
like in the example.
1- I make sure I drink enough during the day.
2- I don't read enough but I'm going to start downloading books to my phone.

We also used word enough with nouns. But enough comes before nouns. See at this examples.
1-There isn't enough bread to make sandwiches.
2- Have you got enough money?

And we could use it as a pronoun. Word enough can also be used without a noun. look at some example
1- A: I'll get some more chairs. B There aren't enough.
2 A: Do you want more coffee? B: No, I've had enough, thanks.
So we should know what the noun is because of the context.

How to use word enough with an adjective and a noun. When enough is used with an adjective and a noun, two positions are possible but the meaning changes.We can see in the example given
1-We haven't got big enough envelopes.
2- We haven't got enough big envelopes.
So when enough is after the adjective "big enough envelopes" it describes the adjective – the envelopes are too small. When enough is before the adjective "enough big envelopes", it describes the noun phrase – we have some big envelopes, but we need more.

How could we use Word enough of
We normally only use enough of when it is followed by a determiner or a pronoun (a/an/the, this/that, my/your/his, you/them, etc.). examples.
1- There isn't enough of that bread to make sandwiches for everyone.
2- I've seen enough of his work to be able to recommend him.
