The Adverb Too

The adverb too goes before the adjectives and adverbs it modifies.

• She drives too fast.
• She spoke too slowly.
• The weather was too hot.
• Her performance was too lousy.

The adverb too is often followed by an infinitive structure.

• She is too old to enter school.
• It is too hot to go out.

The infinitive structure can be preceded by for + noun / pronoun.

• The tea is too hot for me to drink. (Here the phrase for me is actually the subject of the infinitive to drink.)
• The problem was too difficult for them to solve.

Too can mean also. In this case, it goes after the adverb and is usually set off with a comma.

• She is beautiful. She is intelligent, too. (= She is also intelligent.)
• She not only sings; she plays the piano, too. (= She also plays the piano.)
