When do I use 'to' and when do I use 'too'?

Answer 1

Think of to sort of as going to..

I'm going to the park.
Are you going to eat that?
He's just going to have to learn to live with it!
Welcome to our house.

However, TOO is another word for ALSO, or something excessive.

She's coming over, too.
I hate math, too.
There's just too much rum in this cake!
Can I come too?
Too many people showed up for the concert, and we sold out of tickets.

Answer 2

"Too" means either also, as in-- When you go shopping, I want to come, too. or an excess, as in, You can never be too rich. or It's better to have too much food for a party than not enough.

"To" is a preprosition of direction and is properly the beginning of a prepositional phrase, as in -- Let's go to the show.

Answer 3

When you want to get someplace--go TO someplace--in a hurry, you take the shortest route. In this case, it is also the shortest word: to

When you overeat or overdrink, you have more than you need, TOO much. Notice it has more O than it needs. It can mean ALSO--still TOO much. I had this, ALSO this, ALSO this, ALSO this, and got a stomache ache because I had TOO much.

So TO is the shortest route TO someplace, and TOO is TOO much of a good thing.

Answer 4

Use "to" when you're "going to the store". Use "too" when "your friend wants to go to the store, too". Too is "in addition to" or "also".

I'm not a good teacher, but I hope this helps some! :)

Answer 5

Too as in also.

Answer 6

You use "too" when you are replacing also. For example, "I like piano music, too." Also when you are referring to something in excess, such as "I have too many things to do," or, "Your music is too loud." You use the word "to" in general like, "I'm going to the store," or "Are you going to clean your room." Hope this helps. It can be confusing.

Answer 7

to=to do something (i went to the shops or i went to see a friend)
too=too many,greater than,(there is way too much salt in my food or that is really way too high)

Answer 8

To, remember that by thinking going to
Too, means also
Two is the number.
English is so confusing even when its your native language.
"She walked to the store to get two lemons and four limes, too."

Answer 9
