■ pronombre
1 ( suficiente) enough;
2 ( demasiado):
■ adverbio
1 ( suficientemente) enough;
2 ( considerablemente) ( con verbos) quite a lot;
(con adjetivos, adverbios) quite;
me pareció bastante agradable/aburrido I thought he was quite pleasant/rather boring
bastante
I adjetivo
1 (suficiente) enough: ¿tenéis bastantes mantas?, do you have enough blankets?
bastante dinero/azúcar, enough money/sugar
2 (en abundancia) quite a lot of: tiene bastante valor, he's quite brave
bastantes personas, quite a lot of people
II adverbio
1 (suficiente) enough: nunca tiene bastante, it's never enough for her

2 (muy, mucho) fairly, quite: conduces bastante bien, you drive rather well
es una película bastante buena, it's quite a good film

1) Cuando quieres decir suficiente, debes usar la palabra enough, que se coloca detrás de un adjetivo o adverbio, pero delante de un sustantivo: Tengo bastante dinero. I have enough money. No es bastante grande. It's not big enough.
Recuerda que nunca puedes usar enough cuando bastante significa muy: Este libro es bastante (muy) interesante. This book is very interesting. Hace bastante calor. It's very hot.
2) Cuando quieres decir abundante, puedes emplear la palabra quite, pero también:
fairly: bastante pero no suficiente
pretty: más o mejor de lo esperado (informal)
rather: más o mejor de lo esperado (formal)
En una escala de nada a muy, el orden sería: not-fairly-quite-rather/pretty-very.
Quite se coloca delante de a/an + sustantivo
pretty y fairly entre a/an y el sustantivo, y rather en ambas posiciones: It's quite/ rather a nice day today o it's a pretty/fairly/rather nice day today. Hoy es un día bastante agradable.
En la comparación sólo puedes emplear rather: It's rather warmer today. Hoy hace bastante más calor.
Con un verbo sólo podemos usar quite o rather: I rather/ quite liked it. Me gustó bastante.
