When do you use the word too and when to?

Here's a breakdown of when to use "too" and "to":

"Too"

* Meaning: "Too" indicates an excess or an extreme amount of something. It's used to express a degree or quantity that is greater than desired or appropriate.

* Examples:

* The soup is too salty. (The saltiness is excessive)

* I'm too tired to go out. (The tiredness is a barrier)

* She's too young to drive. (The age is not suitable for driving)

"To"

* Meaning: "To" indicates direction, purpose, or a destination. It can also be used to form infinitives (verbs preceded by "to").

* Examples:

* I'm going to the store. (Direction)

* I need to eat. (Purpose)

* I want to go home. (Destination)

* She tried to run. (Infinitive)

Quick Tips:

* If you can replace the word with "also" or "very," you likely need "too."

* If the word is followed by a verb, you likely need "to" (to form an infinitive).

Common Mistakes:

* "To" for "too": "I'm to tired to go." (Incorrect - should be "too")

* "Too" for "to": "I want to go to the park." (Correct)
