There is a difference between the words to, too and two.

To has two functions. First, as a preposition, in which case it always precedes a noun.


I'm going to the store
He went to Italy
This belongs to David



Secondly, to indicates an infinitive when it precedes a verb.


I need to study
We want to help
He's going to eat



Too also has two uses. First, as a synonym for "also":


Can I go too?
He went to France too
I think that's Paul's book too



Secondly, too means excessively when it precedes an adjective or adverb.


I'm too tired
He's walking too quickly
I ate too much



Two is a number.


One, two, three…
I have two cars
She ate two pieces of pie




A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions––coordinating, subordinating, and correlative––each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to bring words together.

What Is a Coordinating Conjunction?
Coordinating conjunctions are what come to most people’s minds when they hear the word “conjunction.” They can join together words, phrases and independent clauses. There are seven of them, and they’re easy to remember if you can just remember FANBOYS:

For - Explains reason or purpose (just like “because”) I go to the park every Sunday, for I love to watch the ducks on the lake.
And - Adds one thing to another I go to the park every Sunday to watch the ducks on the lake and the shirtless men playing soccer.
Nor - Used to present an alternative negative idea to an already stated negative idea I don’t go for the fresh air nor really for the ducks. Honestly, I just like the soccer.
But - Shows contrast The soccer in the park is entertaining in the winter, but it’s better in the heat of summer.
Or - Presents an alternative or a choice The men play on teams: shirts or skins.
Yet - Introduces a contrasting idea that follows the preceding idea logically (similar to “but”) I always take a book to read, yet I never seem to turn a single page.
So - Indicates effect, result or consequence I’ve started dating one of the soccer players, so now I have an excuse to watch the game each week.



What Is a Subordinating Conjunction?
A subordinating conjunction always introduces a dependent clause, tying it to an independent clause. In contrast to coordinating conjunctions, a subordinate conjunction can often come first in a sentence. This is due simply to the nature of the relationship between the dependent and the independent clause. In English, there are lots of subordinating conjunctions, but the most common ones are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while." Here are a few examples of how subordinating conjunctions are used:

“Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk” (Kelly Clarkson).
“If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me” (Peter Cetera/Chicago).
“When I see you smile, I can face the world” (Bad English).
“[You] don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” (Cinderella).
“I guess I’ll never be the same since I fell for you” (B.B. King).
“As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left” (Coolio).



What Are Correlative Conjunctions?
Correlative conjunctions are sort of like tag-team conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work. They include pairs like “both/and,” “whether/or,” “either/or,” “neither/nor,” “not/but” and “not only/but also.”

I either want the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate.
I’ll have both the cheesecake and the frozen hot chocolate.
I didn’t know whether you’d want the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate, so I got you both.
Oh, you want neither the cheesecake nor the frozen hot chocolate? No problem.
I’ll eat them both - not only the cheesecake but also the frozen hot chocolate.
I see you’re in the mood not for dessert but appetizers. I’ll help you with those too.

Now, I personally lose a little respect for people who don't use decent grammar, with the acceptation of periods and commas, but no way am I going to support this, if it even belongs to S&I in the first place.
