We know what the noun is because of the context.
With an adjective and a
noun
When enough is
used with an adjective and a noun, two positions are possible but the meaning
changes.
We haven't got big enough
envelopes.
We haven't got enough big envelopes.
We haven't got enough big envelopes.
When enough is after the
adjective (big enough
envelopes), it describes the adjective – the envelopes are too
small. When enough is before the
adjective (enough big
envelopes), it describes the noun phrase – we have some big
envelopes, but we need more.
enough of
We normally only use enough
of when it is followed by a determiner or a pronoun (a/an/the, this/that, my/your/his, you/them, etc.).
There isn't enough of that
bread to make sandwiches for everyone.
