同義詞
  • that's enough

    more direct and less polite; common with children

  • I've had enough

    focuses on the speaker's feeling rather than telling someone to stop

反義詞
  • more please

文法句型

used alone as a sentence

often followed by 'thank you'

用法筆記

Always spoken — rarely written except in dialogue. The phrase alone means 'stop' or 'enough'. Adding 'for now' or 'for today' makes it temporary rather than a final refusal.

常見錯誤

❌That's enough will do
✅That will do
💡the phrase is fixed; do not add 'enough' or reorder the words.
❌That will be do
✅That will do
💡'do' stays in base form regardless of tense.
