NARRATOR
When words sound the same but are spelt differently, we call them homophones, like to, too and two.
There’s to, like I’m going to the beach.
Then there’s too, meaning also or extremely.
And finally, the number two.
Looks like someone’s going to a party.
And you’re going too?
Two monsters are going to the party.
Hang on you two. Wasn’t there somebody else invited to the party too?
(snorts, laughing) Ah, umm. There you are! Now you can go to the party too with these two!
Oh, um, nice tutu by the way!
To, too or two?
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings. To, too and two are homophones that often confuse people.
‘To’ is used to show motion, eg "I’m going to the shop."
‘Too’ means ‘also’ or ‘extremely’, eg "I would like to come too but I'm too tired."
‘Two’ means the number 2, eg "Let’s buy two apples."
