Sometimes I wonder is it “to” or “too”? At least I don’t struggle with the proper time to use “two”. Here is some information I have found in the “English Grammar for Dummies” book.
“To” may be part of an infinitive (to speak, to dream) or it may show movement towards someone or something (to the store, to me).
“Two” is the number 2.
“Too” means also (Are you going too?) or more than enough (too expensive, too wide)
Example: If you two want to skip school and go to the ball game, today’s a good day because the teacher will be too busy to check.
The two basketballs that hit Ludwig in the head yesterday were too soft to do much damage, but Ludwig is suing anyway.
Two things you should always remember before you decide to break a grammar rule: it is never too late to learn proper English and you are never too old to get in trouble with your teacher.
