"To" is a preposition that indicates a destination or a receiver.
Examples: "I am going TO the store." "I'm giving the gift TO him."

"Too" means also or excessively; so if you can substitute also or excessively in the sentence, then the word you want is "too." Remember: There's one "o" and ALSO another "o" in "too."
Examples: "I am too tired." "He is going to the concert too."

To is a destination or intent. I am going TO the store. I am going TO send an email. I want TO sleep late.

Too either means also (as well) or in excess. I want to go, too. She came to the conference, too. There is too much salt in the soup. That dress is too big for her.

Too is used instead of the word ALSO. Example:You have a dog and I have a dog TOO (also). or Kate has red hair and I do too (also).

TO with just one o describes going somewhere....you go TO the store. You send a card TO someone. It is about something ro someone going from one place TO another.

Hope this helps!!

You're having trouble with to too?

Too means also.
I love dogs too.

Too could also mean very.
He is too fat.

To is a preposition, I think.
I want to go to the mall.

They're forgetting too much. If it is implying an extent of something, too little, too many, too hot. And it means also. Use the other TO for everything else.

Just remember if you can replace too with also, the too is the right spelling. If not, use to.

too is like adding on something. "he wants it too" "she's coming too" "he ate it too"

i don't know how to explain the other one.

"To" means heading toward a location or a goal. "Too" means "also."
