to be enough or adequate
To be enough for what is needed.
รูปแบบการใช้:
to suffice (for [something]) / (to do [something])
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use "suffice" like an adjective and say *"it is suffice"* instead of "it is sufficient" or "it will suffice". Remember: "suffice" is a verb, while "sufficient" is an adjective. Another common mistake is adding "of", as in *"it suffices of"*; the correct pattern is "suffice for [something]" or "suffice to do [something]".
