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.
