Do you know the difference: Two/To/Too
Do you know the difference: Two/To/Too
Today we are only going to focus on one set of confusing words instead of two sets. So let's have a go at today's set:
Let's take a look at: Two
This is the easy one of the three. Two is a number:
Eg. My daugter turned two a weak ago.
Let's take a look at: Too
Too is used as an adverb. It means excessive or also.
Eg. I would like to read that book too.
But then what is an adverb.

Let's take a look at: To
To expresses direction or motion.
Eg. I go to the window. You have to turn right to find the fish shop.
To conclude
Always make sure that you think before you write two/to/too. Make sure that you use the correct one. Two is always easy, but we often easily confuse the use between to and too.

Sooo many people use too and to incorrectly, and the usage of the "two" is really quite simple! :)
That is true. The sad part is that people sometimes also use two incorrectly.
I really love English but still struggle with its propper use like even native English spaeker admit. Fortunately there is a real phonetic language around called Esperanto where an o really means an o.
Good description of post thanks sis
Thank you
