How to spell too

Too is spelled T-O-O. The part people get wrong: double O.

What it means: More than is needed or wanted.

In a sentence: I have too many toys in my room. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for double o.

Not to be confused with: to, two, a different word.

Same family: also, as well, either, overly, excessively. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Too” comes from Old English *tō*, which meant “in addition” or “further.” Over time, English split the old forms into three modern words—“to,” “too,” and “two”—which all sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
