⚡ The 'Too' Pattern

In this story, we see a very useful word: too.

When we use too before a describing word, it means 'more than we want' or 'more than is okay.' It is usually a negative feeling.

From the text:

  • "The wait was not too long" \rightarrow (The wait was okay/acceptable).
  • "The government has too much work" \rightarrow (They have more work than they can handle).

Compare these two:

  1. Long \rightarrow Just a fact. (The line is long).
  2. Too long \rightarrow A problem. (The line is too long! I am tired of waiting).

Common A2 combinations:

  • Too hot \rightarrow 🥵
  • Too expensive \rightarrow 💸
  • Too fast \rightarrow 🏎️
  • Too small \rightarrow 🤏
