How do you know which one to use in your writing?

To, Too, and Two are all pronounced (spoken) the same way, but they have different meanings.

to: preposition - direction, toward, until

too: adverb - also, or more than enough

two: a number -2

I have to go to work tomorrow. Let’s go to the coffee shop.

Ana wants to go too. I ate too much pizza.

He’s only two years old. Two is only a number -- 2

We call words that have the same pronunciation, homophones.
