Understanding the use of ---- to and too  as parts of English grammar-- but with stark differences. To is used as a preposition, adverb and while too is used as an adverb. Caution must be used.  

To is used to imply the following:

 

  • in the direction of something or towards something, for example, I ran to the store for some groceries.
  • mentioned from something, for example, Place the cursor to the left of the column
  • as far as something, for example, the path led down to the river.
  • reaching a particular state, for example, the turkey was cooked to perfection
    • to show the end of a limit or time, for example, a drop in profits from $25 to $1 million
    • before the start of something, for example:, how long to dinner?.
      • used to show a receiver, for example, he gave it to his sister.
      • affected by something, for example, she is devoted to her husband.
      • attachment or connection of two things, for example, attach this poster to the front of the windshield.
      • a relationship, for example, he is married to the author.
      • as an infinitive marker, for example, I am going to tell you her intention
      • one action after another, for example, I reached the parking lot to find my car stolen..

    • On the other hand, too is used before adverbs and adjectives to say that something is more than good, necessary, possible etc for example, he is far too young to go on without me.

      • Too is also used to imply the following:
      • at the end of a sentence to mean also, for example, can I come too?.
      • comment on something that makes it worse, for example, she broke her leg last week and on her birthday too.
      • very, for example, I am not too sure if this is the right thing to do.
      • to emphasize emotion, for example, I feel its best too go slowly.

To and Too

Question: When do I use "to" or "too"? Example: too difficult or to stay

Answer: The word too has two common meanings: (1) "also" or "besides" and (2) "excessively." Sometimes people use it informally to mean (3) "very."

Excellent... many people would not recognize that the use of "too" in your last example is absolutely correct. 

Great job.  :)
