方法 1Too 、 To 的正确用法
1
我们先来看 "too"。知道 "too"的意思以后,就可以用在一些用 "to" 时完全正确的例子看看能不能也用。
- "too" 多了个"o"
- 一个技巧就是强调"too" 的发音,这样更容易记住。有个好例子,你可以加重语气,这样能够说出独特的效果: "I want to come toooooooo" (我也想来)。当然不要这样拼写,但是要在脑海里有这个印象,以后可以比较容易想到。
2
了解"too"的意思。第一个意为 "also" (也) 或"besides" (另外),第二个是"excessively" (太) "extra" (多余),有的人还把它用作"very" (非常),用个实例来联系它的意义,比如温度、难度、敏感度等等。 "too hot"(太热) "too challenging" (“太难”) "too soft"(“太软”)因此:
- 在可以把"too" 换成"also"的情况下使用too
- 例如"She felt awful, too (她同样感觉难受)" "I can see you too (我也能看到你)".
- "too" 可以用来强调或修饰一个词
- "The weather is too (天气太热了) hot", "I've eaten too (我吃得太多了) much", "The package is too (包裹太沉了) big".
- "He wasn't too (非常) interested in my book."(他对我的书不是很有兴趣)
3
了解"to" 的意义。"To"是借此,来指示方向、地点、位置,例如:
- 用作指向动作的对象。"I am going to the store" (我要去商店) "Will you just go to bed please!"(你上床睡觉行吗)
- 用来指向人或物。"I am speaking to your friend"(哥们,我跟你说话呢), "I am looking to the right".(我在看右边。)
4
"to"用在不定式动词前。
- 比如 "To go home" "to catch a mouse" "to open the door."(回家、抓老鼠、开门儿)

多多练习。以下有一些测试给你做做:(答案在小提示里。)
- She's coming [to/too] your party [to/too].
- I'm [to/too] hot [to/too] help you carry [to/too/two] suitcases [to/too] the bus station.
- We are hoping [to/too] be near the festival [to/too].
- It's [to/too] early [to/too] be asking me questions about where I am headed [to/too].
- I hate [to/too] disturb your thoughts but are you ready [to/too] help us with our homework [to/too]?
小提示
- 虽然这个错误不怎么常见,但也可能和"two" 弄混,但是这很好分清,因为two是数字 2。
- 上述练习答案:
- She's coming to your party too.(她也要来你聚会。)
- I'm too hot to help you carry two suitcases to the bus station.(太热了,我不能帮你拿俩行李箱去汽车站)
- We are hoping to be near the festival too.(我们也期待假期的到来)
- It's too early to be asking me questions about where I am headed to.(你现在问我要去哪还太早)
- I hate to disturb your thoughts but are you ready to help us with our homework too?(我可不喜欢打扰你思考,但你准备好也帮我们解答作业问题了吗?)
- too有两个o,因为要指示两个或多个物体、地点或事物。
- 记住以下例子
- Do you think we're arriving too soon?(你觉得我们太早来了吗)
- 这里可重读"toooo",因为是比应该来的时间早太多了。
- You should meet us there, too. (你也应该在那儿和我们碰面)
- 这里可以重读"toooo",如 "Why don't you meet us there as well"或把后面替换为"in addition, along with"等等。
- It's a cold day to be playing outside.(太冷的天,不该出门玩。)
- 这里重读根本不加重或带来任何更深入的意义。
- They are going to the beach with us.(他们要同我们一起去海滩)
- "to" 这里只是介词,重读没有意义。
- Do you think we're arriving too soon?(你觉得我们太早来了吗)
- 有的人认为句尾从来不会有介词,因此可以通过这个方法区分句尾的"to"、 "too"。不过呢,这只是基于一个误解得出的结论。现代语法学家说这完全有可能发生,一直都这样(查看莎士比亚文学)。
