A Tale of Three Words:
Two, To, and Too
Problem Words
• There are three little words that give some people needless problems: two, to, and too. If these words were not pronounced the same, they would be easy, but English grammar is not always simple. Luckily, these three words can be quickly mastered. Let’s begin!
The Easiest One: Two
• The word two is a number, and it comes between one and three.
• Example: I want two puppies for my birthday. I don’t want one, and I don’t want three. I want two.
How many puppies do you want?
Two
This Might Help
• Who wants two? Look at the w’s and o’s in both words. That may help you remember which one of these three little words means a number.
• Two is an adjective because it tells how many, and that’s one thing an adjective does.
Direction: To• Now that you have mastered Two, let’s
tackle To.• To tells a direction. • Example: Go to the door and see if the
puppies are there. • Example: The puppies went to bed.• To is a preposition when it is used this
way.
Where Did the Puppies Go?
The puppies went to bed.

sentence means we have more than enough puppies.
• Now, let’s look at how we use too to mean also.
• Example: I want a puppy, too. • Example: I want a puppy, also.
