Homonyms, words that sound alike but are spelled differently and have different meanings, are plentiful in English. One homonyn set that causes even native speakers problems is to, too, and two.

The first is a preposition which can mean in the direction of, until a certain point of time, or arriving at a place.
My trip to New York will take several days.
The school week generally lasts from Monday to Friday.

The second is an adverb which can usually be replace with also.
Is your brother going to the party too?

The third is the number following one.
Would you like just one egg this morning or two?

We have to tell from the context (surrounding words) in which a homonym is used which form is needed to avoid spelling errors.
