25 years later and I still can’t figure out the difference of to and too. Actually had to pause this video half way through. Somehow you triggered a regular childhood occurrence. It always started off the same way. Sitting at the table with my dad, doing homework. It started off with him trying to explain the problem to me. After a bit he would get flustered, because no matter how many times he explained it to me, I still couldn’t grasp the logic. Slowly he would grow annoyed of my stupidity and the anger would start flowing through his blood. As soon as I sensed his anger I’d just break down sobbing, and give up. The more he tried to push it into my mind the more I’d cry. Then SNAP!! He’d rip me from my chair & kick the shit out of me and go to bed fuming. Now I can’t even watch a simple video without feeling like a loser. Thanks for reminding me how stupid I am. I hate my life

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Don't worry, some people are over 40 years old and still don't understand it.

[@leecrawford5550]

Don’t feel bad, you are not stupid! I am 78 with some college and I still struggle between to and too. It is so frustrating!

Which sentences?

[@Eza_lev]

@@WoodwardEnglish This is the sentences that I found in the internet "When it comes to watching movies on TV, I’m a commitment-phobe."

[@Mister.Psychology]

So basically both to and too mean about 5 different things each and you just have to remember the difference.

[@WoodwardEnglish]

That's right. :)

[@jamesr.2017]

If you're older than 12 and don't know the difference, you clearly need to pay more attention in school.

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Mostly true, though sometimes people just make mistakes when they are typing quickly. For example....* older than

[@jamesr.2017]

Technically, older than is not grammatically incorrect. It depends how you use it. I'm older than you.= wrong I was older than. = right. Although that's technically correct, it makes no sense.

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Older THAN is correct... OLDER is a comparative so after it you need THAN not THEN. The reason I mention it is because you wrote "older then 12" it should be "older than 12" Check out my notes about comparatives and superlatives: www.grammar.cl/Intermediate/Comparatives_Superlatives.htm

Oh. I feel stupid now.

[@BGuhChannel27]

what about toe?

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Toe is pronounced differently. TOE rhymes with NO and GO. The other words, TO, TOO and TWO are homophones which means they sound the same though have different spelling and meaning. That is why Toe is not mentioned. :)
