Two Vs. To Vs. Too
What's the difference between聽two,听to, and聽too?
Two is the number equal to one plus one. To is a very common word that performs many different functions, such as expressing direction (I鈥檓 driving to the office) or contact (Pin it to the wall), indicating an object or recipient (Give it to me), or setting a range (9 to 5) or limit (These go to 11). Too means also (I鈥檓 going, too) or to an excessive degree (too much).
The words are used in very different ways: two is a number that can be used as a noun or an adjective, to is most commonly used as a preposition, and too is an adverb.
Perhaps the most common mistake involving the three words is using to when it should be too, or vice versa. Remember, if you mean to, don鈥檛 use too many o鈥檚!
Here鈥檚 an example of two, to, and too used correctly in the same sentence.
Example: The dealer dealt two twos to me, but it was two twos too few鈥攎y opponent had a full house!
