⚠️ The 'Too' Rule

In the text, we see:

  • "too many people"
  • "too young"

What does it mean? We use too when something is more than enough or more than okay. It usually means there is a problem.

Compare these:

  • Many people \rightarrow (A lot of people. This is a fact.)

  • Too many people \rightarrow (Too many! The bus is dangerous.)

  • Young \rightarrow (The child is a kid.)

  • Too young \rightarrow (Not old enough to be punished. This is a problem for the police.)
