Remove of 'Too'

Understanding "Too", "To", and "Two"

1. Too:
➥ This is an adverb and is followed by an adjective or another adverb.
Example: He is too tall.

2. To:
➥ This is a preposition. After 'to', we always use the base form of the verb (V¹).
Example: I like to play.

3. Two:
➥ This is an adjective, used before plural countable nouns (PCN).
Example: I have two books.

Note:
➥ Using "too" often gives a negative meaning in a sentence.

Type - I

Structure: Subject + verb + too + adjective/adverb + to + verb.

⟹ Structure: Subject + verb + so + adjective/adverb + that + subject + can't/couldn't + verb.

Examples:

• Sohan is too fat to run. → Sohan is so fat that he can't run.
• Rahim was too poor to help. → Rahim was so poor that he couldn't help.
• You are too honest to cheat. → You are so honest that you can't cheat.
• Shyam was too fat to stand. → Shyam was so fat that he couldn't stand.
• I was too lazy to do the work. → I was so lazy that I couldn't do the work.

Type - II

Structure: Subject + verb + too + adjective/adverb + to be + noun/adjective.

⟹ Structure: Subject + verb + so + adjective/adverb + that + subject + can't/couldn't + be + noun/adjective.

Example: Sohan is too lazy to be a player → Sohan is so lazy that he couldn't be a player.

Type - III

Structure: Subject + verb + too + adjective/adverb + to + verb + other.

⟹ Structure: Subject + verb + so + adjective/adverb + that + one/we + can't/couldn't + V¹ + other.

Example: The wall is too high to climb. → The wall is so high that no one can climb it.

The mountain is too high to climb. → The moutain is so high that we can't climb.

The pencile is too small that we can't write. → The sun was so hot that we couldn't go out.

Notes:

➥ If the action in the main clause cannot be performed, use "that" followed by a subject like "we" or "one" in the second clause.

➥ If "one" and "we" are replaced with "no one" or "nobody," then "can" or "could" will be used without "not" in that context.

Examples:

• The task is too complex to complete → The task is so complex that no one can complete it.
• The mountain is too steep to climb → The mountain is so steep that no one could climb it.
• The book is too difficult to understand → The book is so difficult that no one can understand it.
• The music is too loud to hear anything else → The music is so loud that no one can hear anything else.

Type IV

⟹ Structure: Subject + verb + comparative degree + than + it is proper/it was proper.

Note:

➥ If the verb in the main clause is in the present tense, use "it is proper."

➥ If the verb is in the past tense, use "it was proper."

Examples:

• He was too poor. → He was poorer than it was proper.
• Sohan is too fat. → Sohan is fatter than it is proper.
• The task is too difficult. → The task is more difficult than it is proper.
• She is too young. → She is younger than it is proper.
