To, Too, Two

What’s the difference between to, too, and two? It’s not too difficult to use them, once you take the time to learn what they mean – and do some practicing, too

To

To has two functions. First, as a preposition, in which case it always precedes a noun.

Ø  I’m going to the store

Ø  He went to Italy

Ø  This belongs to David

Secondly, to indicates an infinitive when it precedes a verb.

Ø  I need to study

Ø  We want to help

Ø  He’s going to eat

 
Too

Too also has two uses. First, as a synonym for "also":

Ø  Can I go too?

Ø  He went to France too

Ø  I think that’s Paul’s book too

Secondly, too means excessively when it precedes an adjective or adverb.

Ø  I’m too tired

Ø  He’s walking too quickly

Ø  I ate too much

 
Two

Two is a number.

Ø  One, two, three…

Ø  I have two cars

Ø  She ate two pieces of pie
