3. I don't like the weather in Ireland. There is …................... rain there.

Explanation

The correct answer is "too much" because the sentence states that the person does not like the weather in Ireland, suggesting that there is an excessive amount of rain. "Enough" would imply that there is a satisfactory amount of rain, which contradicts the person's dislike for the weather. "Too many" would be used to describe a countable noun, such as "too many rainy days," but since rain is not countable, it is not the appropriate choice.

Explanation

The correct answer is "too much" because the sentence states that drinking a certain amount of coffee is not good for you. "Enough" would imply that the amount of coffee is sufficient, which contradicts the given information. "Too many" is used for countable nouns, but coffee is not countable in this context. Therefore, "too much" is the appropriate phrase to indicate an excessive amount of coffee.

The other options, "too much" and "too many," imply an excessive amount, which contradicts the meaning of the sentence.

Explanation

The sentence is expressing a lack of sufficient money for the birthday gift. The word "enough" is used to indicate that the speaker does not have an adequate amount of money.

Explanation

The sentence states that the person does not have enough time, indicating that they have a limited amount of time available.
