Are there enough potatoes? ¿Hay bastantes patatas?
Eggs? Yes, there are enough ¿Huevos? Sí, hay bastantes ► Don't add an "s" to the {adverb} bas tante ({i.e.} when it modifies an adjective or verb other than ser, parecer {etc}):

He says he hasn't had enough to eat Dice que no ha comido bastante or no ha comido lo suficiente
We shall never be able to thank you enough Nunca se lo podremos agradecer bastante or lo suficiente
After adjectives and adverbs
