Quite good an English but........ Are you pulling our legs?

You would go TO the shop, and your friend could go too. Too means also or besides, excessively or even very. However, I'm guessing this means nothing to you, or to you too.

[a.l.guzzler]

Just put "the spelling".

Ignore Derek H (like I've been trying to) He's from another century (millennium?).

[delzx7r]

Two is a number
To is an intention As in I am going to kill you for not knowing.
Too is accompaniment as in my friend will be there too.

Actually it's: "..but decided not to, hey ho..."

But you could say: "..but decided not to pay too much..."..

I find rail fares cost too much for two of us to travel.

A bit preachy, as it's from an American website, but sums it up pretty well;

To

To has two functions. First, as a preposition, in which case it always precedes a noun.

I'm going to the store

He went to Italy

This belongs to David

Secondly, to indicates an infinitive when it precedes a verb.

I need to study

We want to help

He's going to eat


Too

Too also has two uses. First, as a synonym for "also":

Can I go too?

He went to France too

I think that's Paul's book too

Secondly, too means excessively when it precedes an adjective or adverb.

I'm too tired

He's walking too quickly

I ate too much


Two

Two is a number.

One, two, three...

I have two cars

She ate two pieces of pie

[Justlookin]

Den.

Think Tinseltoe's brain just exploded with that one.

precedes = goes before

i think they are excellent examples..
however if you are struggling with 'two' it's a bit (lot) worrying

I get it now, Two....as in , I'm going for a number two!

[*concerned*]

I'm going for a number two to, or is that too much info ¿

[Stupot]

I'm going for a number two to, or is that too much info ¿

Not enough - it's "I'm going for a number two too.."! (i.e as well).

The question mark is also upside down...

[pedoja]

I'm going for a number two to, or is that too much info ¿

The 'bolded'(sp?) to..... is the wrong one.... it should have been "too."

[*concerned*]

I too notice two of you are paying enough attention to comment on my typo

[Stupot]

I too notice two of you are paying enough attention to comment on my typo

You were fortunate to be able to notice that the appropriate number were paying enough attention to comment...

Chance is a fine thing....

Are you abroad (at the moment) or do you just have a 'foreign' keyboard?
