As I was choosing a topic for today’s writing post, I thought it was time I wrote another difference between post.
As I was going through my records, I realized that I have yet to do a post on the difference between “to”, “too”, and “two”. These are three of the most confused words out there, so I figured I better step on it.
“To” can be used as a preposition or to indicate an infinitive:
I’m going to Jamaica.
He wants to read a book.
“Too” can mean “also” but it can also indicate excessiveness:
Do you want to go to Jamaica, too?
I can’t eat another bite. I’m too full.
“Two” is easy; it just means a number.
I have two dogs and you have two cats.
One way to remember the difference is to remember that “too” has an extra O, which indicates more (more people going to Jamaica, more food in my belly, etc). Also, notice that there is a W sound in “one” but no W written, and it’s the other way around for “two”. :)
