Good at English grammar? Help plz!?

Question

We normally use ''too + adjective'' to talk about things we don't like e.g. There's too much trrafic on the street or It's too cold out there. Now,is it correct to say "I like too much sunshine in the winter''? or ''I like too much rain in the spring''?

Answer 1

No, because too= excessive. In other words, more than you like. You might want to say, "a lot of".

Answer 2

NO

that IS what too means, but that is not the correct way to use it, "theres too much traffic" is correct but "i like too much sunshine in the winter" is not correct, you should say " i like a lot of sunshine in the winter" using too just doesnt sound right

Answer 3

No, that is not correct. Don't listen to the first poster. You would say....
"I like the Spring rain very much"
"I very much like the rain in the spring" or
"I like when it rains in the spring A LOT" (more casual)

or when you are agreeing with someone....
I" TOO like the spring rain very much"


"Too much" can also be described as "more than you need"

As in "You put too much butter on my bread. I don't like it that way."

Answer 4

IMO a better way of saying that would be "I like more rain in the spring." or "I like a lot of rain in the spring". I think the use of "too much" in the sentences in your example is confusing and awkward.

Answer 5

Why not try to step around it.
I like plenty of sunshine in the winter.

Answer 6

I disagree with everyone, which might be a bad omen!

Consider the following example. Someone says to you, "We live too long because before we die we end up feeling so much pain." You respond with, "But I am glad that we live too long because it is life itself that I treasure."

Notice that, rather than focus on the mere words, "We live too long," you thought about the concept, "because before we die we end up feeling so much pain." In acknowledging that we "live too long," you are merely acknowledging the concept that "we end up feeling a lot of pain," but you go on to add the concept that "it is life itself that you treasure."

You raise a good question, but be careful about it. Few people would understand you if you state that "too much" of something is good.

Answer 7

Yes that is correct. "Too" is used to describe something that there is a lot of or sometimes not enough of.

Answer 8

The adverb too means in excess, and excess is never good.

If you say it's too good, 't will sound weird

Answer 9

It would be excessive.
Almost like saying:
"I like too much money".
