This has sticky potential.

To, Too, and Two:

Classify "to" as a preposition. A preposition indicates the directional, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence. It is used at the beginning of a prepositional phrase (to the store, to the market) or an infinitive (to run, to play).

Categorize "too" as an adverb. An adverb is similar to an adjective, but rather than modifying a noun or pronoun, an adverb modifies all words that are not nouns or pronouns. The word that an adverb modifies most often is a verb. "Too" is used to denote something as excessive (too expensive, too young) or to indicate an addition (I want a puppy, too. We need milk, too).

Use "two" as a number. It is used to show quantity. For example, "I have two children" and "We need two pounds of hamburger."
