To and Too

Today I am going to talk about the word too. Most people get confused of to and too. So I am going to talk about the difference about the two words.

Too has two meanings, what are they?
Well the one of the too's mean is like very.
The second too is like as well or also.

Four sentences using the two meanings of too.

  1. This room is too hot please open the windows.
  2. I ate too much.
  3. Me and my friends are going to the mall, do you want to come too?
  4. Okay Jack I will get you a glass of water, can you get me one too?

Apostrophes

Today I will be answering questions about apostrophes because we learnt when to use it yesterday.

- What are the 2 times to use an apostrophe?

Contraction and possession.

- When should you use an apostrophe of possession?

You use a contraction when something means something like you are equals you're.
You use the apostrophe of possession when something belongs to someone.

- 3 examples of where an apostrophe go in a sentence.

  1. Oh no you're going to be late for school.
  2. Trey that is Jeremy's watch.
  3. I've stolen Oliver's car.

- When should you NOT use an apostrophe of possession?

When you come to a random S you don't just randomly put an apostrophe before the S.
(eg. is not i's unless you are talking about the letter I.)

- When should you use an apostrophe of contraction? 

You use an apostrophe of contraction when you come to a word like:
I have you can turn this to I've and we are you can turn this to we're.

- Why do we use apostrophe of contractions?

To shorten long words.

- Where does the apostrophe of contraction go in a contracted word?
