Örnekler:
She is too young to go out alone at night. Geceleri sokağa yalnız çıkamayacak kadar küçük. (= Buna izin veremeyiz.)
She is old enough to go out alone at night. Kendisi karar verebilecek yaşta; biz karışamayız.

Oh, it was too good to be true, anyway... Durumun bir yanılsama, bir serap olduğunu anlayıp gerçeklere dönünce bir iç çekişi ile söylediklerimiz...
You're just too good to be true...
DİKKAT:" too + sıfat + ad + (mastar) " şeklindeki varyasyona da dikkatinizi çekmek isterim:
I just can't figure out what it is, but there must be a catch -- it just sounds too good an opportunity to be true. Walla ne olduğunu çıkarsayamıyorum ama bu işin bir püf noktası olmalı -- (çünkü) inanılmayacak derecede harika bir fırsat gibi görünüyor...
That is obviously too shallow an argument for a man of your intellectual powers... Bunun, senin entellektüel gücüne sahip bir kimse için çok sığ bir argüman olduğu apaçık...
DİKKAT:" too + sıfat + mastar " yapısının tümceye "tersine" bir anlam kazandıracağını söyledik; ancak bu mutlaka "olumsuz" bir nüans getirecek demek değildir. Şu örneklere bakınız:
We thought it was too good an opportunity to miss. Kaçırılmayacak kadar iyi bir fırsat olduğunu düşündük.

Unfortunately, there was too little interest, and specially too little contribution on the part of the general public. Ne yazık ki halktan çok az ilgi ve özellikle de çok az katkı vardı...
