To VS Too VS Two

To: (preposition) expressing motion in the direction of something or someone
I am going to the store today, do you need anything?
I think I will give my new car to Julie instead.

Too: (adverb) a) at a higher degree than desirable b) in addition to 
Katelyn, that is way too much soy sauce!
Is Rachel coming to the dance, too?

Two: (number) the number after one and before three, representing a duo
Lenny and Hailey are like two peas in a pod. 
At last, Cassie discovered that one plus one really equals two.

How to Remember:
In the word "too," there are more "o"'s than in "to" or "two." Since "too" means "in addition to", which can traslate to "more", the spelling gives it its definition. Now, the way I remember "two" is fairly complicated, so if you have a better trick, let me know. In the word "two," there are 2 "v"'s to make the "w" and 2 other letters. Since this word is full of 2's, it represents the number.
