There would be enough left over to get through May.

[Pedro Pinilla]

I have the next paragraph fragment:

How much money would we have left if we had collected the amount from them?
There would still be enough left over to get through May.

My doubt is about the second sentence which is translated as "Tendríamos suficiente para pasar Mayo". Is it the word over necessary in this sentence. What would it mean without this word "There would be enough left to get through May."?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards

There are three left = quedan tres
There are three left over = sobran tres

La segunda frase es impersonal, es decir, "sobraría". Sí, lo sé: en ocasiones podemos pasar del impersonal a la primera personal plural.

Muchas gracias!! Ya entiendo el matiz de ambas

In my opinion, the meaning does not change by omitting the preposition, but "to be left over" is a set phrase and sounds more natural here, although both forms are perfectly correct and understandable.

Thank you for your opinion!
