Question: Mom got way to intense with the circus tricks this afternoon.
Can you help me find the error?
Answer: The error in the sentence is: to.
''Mom got way to intense with the circus tricks this afternoon.''
The correct way to write the sentence is: Mom got way too intense with the circus tricks this afternoon.
Explanation:
The word ''to'' is a preposition with many meanings like:
- To = Towards ----- Example: I walk to the store.
- To = Until ----- Example: From 1996 to 1997.
The word ''too'' is an adverb that can be understood as ''excessively” or “also.''
- Too = Excessively ----- Example: Dad got way too excited during the Christmas event.
- Too = Also ----- Example: My dad likes ice cream too.
