The Use of too ------- too and so---- That with examples and exercise.

 In this article, I have explained the use of too---- to with examples and exercise. I have also given examples and exercises at the end of the article. An adjective is used after first too and the first form of the main verb is used after second to. I have also explained the use of So and That in this article.

The use of too ----- to 

Too + (Adjective) To + (Verb)

'Too (Adjective)---- to' (Verb I) is used in the sentence that has two parts. The second part of the sentence is negative but we do not use' not' in the sentence. The method of translation of such sentences is that subject is used in the beginning. The helping verb is used after the subject and then 'too' is used. The adjective is used after 'too', and then 'to' is used. After the 'to' verb which is used in the second part of the sentence is used.

Structure

Subject + Helping verb + Too + Adjective +   To + Main Verb
Subject + (According to tense) + Too + Adjective + To + VI

Examples

He is too ill to walk.
He is too honest to commit any dishonesty.

Note

These sentences can be translated by simple methods. In the first part, we can use 'so' and in the second part, we can use 'that'

The use of 'So' ----- 'That'
