The first two are grammatical.

Yes, the first two are so hot and very hot.

Of course, I can't comment on whether they work in a given sentence because you haven't supplied one.

Shafizadeh

And as a note, The two first are which one(s) ?

No, you have to ask about "the first two", not "the two first".

Shafizadeh
ok :)
"the two first" is a meaningless sentence?

It's an ungrammatical phrase.

@Shafizadeh It depends. You might not have enough hot water, but the hot water you do have is hot enough.

@Lawrence So "enough" should be after "hot" always? "hot enough" ?

@Shafizadeh In what context? (I just gave an example where enough can precede hot.)

@snailplane I used to think that LDOCE was the best learners' dictionary, until I came upon Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and found out that in some aspects it's more complete/convenient. I'm not yet acquainted with the 6th edition of LDOCE though.

@Færd There are 4 advanced learner's dictionaries focusing on British English in print and online: Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, and Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.

@Færd There are 2 full sized dictionaries focusing on British English in print and online: Collins English Dictionary and Oxford Dictionary of English.

@Færd That's the other dictionary I recommended in chat the other day when asked :-)

The LDOCE and the OALD.

@WillHunting Yes, I guess I've used all of them before, even the OALD, but only recently I realized how useful it is. Why would you say 'focusing on BrE'? I find AmE stuff in LDOCE that isn't even in (the online version of) Merriam-Webster.

There are actually dozens of English language dictionaries online. I like Macmillan Dictionary :-)
