Let's begin with To/Too for the simpletons (13-15 years old)
“Too” is an adverb. It can be used to replace words such as “excessively”, “additionally”, “as well” or “also”. “To”, on the other hand, is a versatile preposition that can be used in various situations and contexts. It's used to indicate a direction, like “toward” and “until”.
Examples: You're an idiot - meaning (You are an idiot)
Let's go a step further
What are there, their and they're examples of?
Their is the possessive pronoun, as in "their car is red"; there is used as an adjective, "he is always there for me," a noun, "get away from there," and, chiefly, an adverb, "stop right there"; they're is a contraction of "they are," as in "they're getting married."
Here's one for the people who think they're smart (typically the 17-19 year old's)
Affect and Effect
A good rule of thumb to remember for “affect” and “effect” is: 1. If you're discussing cause and effect and you're referring to the ending result of said cause, use “effect.” You can remember that “effect” represents the end, as they both start with “e.” 2.
