Should you put a comma before the word too?

Whether you put a comma before "too" depends on how it's used in the sentence.

Here's a breakdown:

* "Too" as an adverb meaning "also" or "in addition": You usually need a comma before "too" in this case.

* Example: "I like pizza, too."

* "Too" as an adverb meaning "excessively" or "more than enough": You don't usually need a comma before "too" in this case.

* Example: "The pizza was too spicy."

Here are some more examples:

* Comma needed: "I'm going to the party, too." (Meaning: I'm going in addition to others)

* Comma not needed: "The pizza was too hot to eat." (Meaning: The pizza was excessively hot)

Ultimately, the best way to determine if you need a comma is to consider the meaning of the sentence and whether "too" is acting as an adverb meaning "also" or "excessively."
