When words sound the same but are spelt differently, we call them homophones, like to, too and two.
罢丑别谤别鈥檚 to, like I鈥檓 going to the beach.
Then there鈥檚 too, meaning also or extremely.
And finally, the number two.
Looks like someone鈥檚 going to a party.
And you鈥檙e going too?
Two monsters are going to the party.
Hang on you two. Wasn鈥檛 there somebody else invited to the party too?
(snorts, laughing) Ah, umm. There you are! Now you can go to the party too with these two!
Oh, um, nice tutu by the way!
To, too or two?
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings. To, too and two are homophones that often confuse people.
鈥楾o鈥 is used to show motion, eg "I鈥檓 going to the shop."
鈥楾oo鈥 means 鈥榓lso鈥 or 鈥榚xtremely鈥, eg "I would like to come too but I'm too tired."
鈥楾wo鈥 means the number 2, eg "Let鈥檚 buy two apples."
