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.
You Also Need to Know About, Too 
• Too means more than enough or also. 
• Example: There were too many puppies! 
• Since too means more than enough, this 
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.
Too Many Puppies

• Two is a number: I want two puppies.
