Homophones Worksheet (to, too, two) Part 1

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’re choosing between to, too, and two.

Remember:
- to = direction or purpose (like “go to school”)
- too = also, or very (like “me too” or “too long”)
- two = the number 2

1. I have exactly ______ pairs of shoes under my bed.
→ We’re talking about a number → two

2. Do we have ______ put a feather in our cap?
→ This means “also” → too

3. There are ______ potatoes left on our plates.
→ Number again → two

4. The hospital is taking ______ long to help us.
→ Means “very” → too

5. I went ______ the garage sale.
→ Direction → to

6. We lost ______ of our best players due to injury.
→ Number → two

7. We were available ______ perform at the show.
→ Purpose (“in order to”) → to

8. It takes ______ long to collect all the money.
→ Means “very” → too

9. I have ______ tell my husband about the event.
→ Purpose → to

10. Make sure ______ go to the principal’s office.
→ You + also → you too → so just too

Wait — let’s check: “Make sure you too go...” doesn’t sound right. Actually, it should be “Make sure you go...” but the blank is for {to, too, two}. Hmm.

Actually, re-read: “Make sure ______ go to the principal’s office.”
It’s missing a subject? No — maybe it’s “Make sure you go...” but that’s not an option. Wait — perhaps it’s “Make sure to go...” meaning “remember to go”. That makes sense!

So → to

11. It took ______ long to prevent the spread of the fire.
→ Very long → too

12. I have ______ tell you about my terrible dream.
→ Purpose → to

Let me double-check #10 again:

“Make sure ______ go to the principal’s office.”

If we say “Make sure to go...” — that’s correct grammar. Like “Remember to go...”

Yes — to is correct here.
