day 7: wacky words—to, too, and two

Another Wacky Word trio, though not confused as often as “there-their-they’re,” is the words “to, too, and two.”

Again, we call these homophones because they sound (phone) the same (homo) when you hear them.

Let’s dissect these three WW’s:

1. To    

                

                       a. Preposition: to the store, to mom                                            

                        b. Beginning of infinitive: to go, to run

                                                           

            2.Too                                                                                                                                    

a. Means also                                                                                                 

    b. Also has two vowels and too has two vowels      

                                  

            3. Two                                                                                                                   

      a. Number word                                                                                                         

   b. One more than one
