کلمه ی (too) (به معنی زیاد) نشانه مقدار یا میزان زیاد است که قبل از یک صفت ساده و یا یک قید ساده ذکر می شود و بعد از آن یک عبارت مصدری قرار می گیرد که معمولاً کلمه (too) قبل از هر صفت و قید ساده معنی منفی به جمله می دهد.
برای ترکیب یک جمله منفی به مثبت از too استفاده می کنیم.
برای ترکیب یک جمله مثبت به یک جمله منفی با کلمه ی (too) ابتدا فاعل و فعل جمله مثبت را نوشته سپس کلمه (too) را قبل از صفت ذکر کرده و بعد مصدر با (to) جمله دوم را نوشته.
تذکر ۲:
برای تر کیب دو جمله مثبت با (very) ابتدا فاعل و فعل جمله اول را نوشته و سپس (very) را قبل از صفت بیان کرده.

هوا خیلی سرد بود اما بیرون رفتیم.
It was too cold to go out, so we stayed at home.
