Exercício 1
My mother told me to go the store yesterday, but it was hot. I told her to go instead of me, but she refused. She said she was tired. I said, 'Me !'.
My mother told me to go to 1 the store yesterday, but it was too 2 hot. I told her to go instead of me, but she refused. She said she was too 3 tired. I said, 'Me too 4!'.
1 to: 'To' is a preposition describing a direction or movement. In this context, 'to' expresses the sense of movement 'towards' a location (to the store).
1 too: 'Too' is an adverb meaning either 'excessive' or 'also'. It is not appropriate in this case, as this construction requires the preposition 'to', which indicates direction or location.
2 too: 'Too' is an adverb meaning 'excessive'. It describes the 'high' or 'excessive' temperature in this exercise.
2 to: Generally, the preposition 'to' is used to indicate movement or direction. Grammatically, 'to' cannot be used to describe an adjective (hot).
3 too: 'Too' is an adverb meaning 'excessive'. It describes the speaker's mother being 'excessively' tired, or 'so tired' that she couldn't go to the store.
3 to: Generally, the preposition 'to' is used to indicate movement or direction. Grammatically, 'to' cannot be used to describe an adjective (hot).
4 too: 'Too' is an adverb meaning 'also'. It indicates that the speaker is 'also tired'. 'Me too' is often used to signal the speaker's agreement with something which has just been stated. Note that 'too' can also mean 'excessive' in another context.
4 also: 'Also' and 'too' can both express the meaning of 'in addition to' or 'additionally', however when 'also' is used in this context, it must precede an adjective (I'm also tired, I am also sick). Using 'also' here (Me also) is grammatically incorrect.

1 too: 'Too' is used here as an adverb meaning 'excessive'. Philip is instructing Polly not to become 'overly' or 'excessively' excited. Note that in another context, 'too' can also mean 'as well' or 'in addition to', as in the sentence 'You like pigeons? Me too!'
2 to: 'To' is a preposition describing a direction or movement. In this context, 'to' expresses the sense of movement 'towards' a location (to a small town in Siberia).
3 too: 'Too' is used here as an adverb meaning 'excessive'. Polly is informing Philip that she is not 'very' or 'excessively' interested in Philip's proposition. Note that in another context, 'too' can also mean 'as well' or 'in addition to', as in the sentence 'You like pigeons? Me too!'
4 also: In this construction, 'also' is synonymous with the phrase 'in addition to' or 'as well as'. Philip is saying that he is a ski enthusiast 'in addition to' a sales genius. 'Also' expresses this sense of 'addition'. It is the only choice which fits this construction grammatically.
5 also: In this construction, 'also' is synonymous with the phrase 'in addition to' or 'as well as'. Polly is saying that Philip is married in addition to being a sales genius and a ski enthusiast (which he mentions in the previous line of the dialogue). 'Also' is the only choice which fits this construction grammatically.
Exercício 3
'I am much tired to go out tonight.'
'Come on. You've been in bed for far long.'
'I've been sick for two weeks in a row.'
'Come on. You've been in bed for far long.'
'I've been sick for two weeks in a row.'
'I am much too 1 tired to go out tonight.'
'Come on. You've been in bed for far too 2 long.'
'I've also 3 been sick for two weeks in a row.'
'Come on. You've been in bed for far too 2 long.'
'I've also 3 been sick for two weeks in a row.'
1 too: In this case 'too' is an adverb meaning 'excessive'. Here, it describes being tired.
1 also: Although 'too' can mean 'also', we cannot use 'also' here because we are expressing the idea of being 'excessively' tired'.
2 too: In this case 'too' is an adverb meaning 'excessive'. Here it describes how long someone has been in bed.
2 also: Although 'too' can mean 'also', we cannot use 'also' here because we are expressing the idea of an 'excessive' amount of time.
3 also: Here we need a word to describe 'being sick'. 'Also' is the best choice here.
3 too: When 'too' is used as a synonym for 'also' it cannot be used before an adjective. We could say, however: 'I'm sick too'.
Exercício 4
Polly: I heard Philip thinks that he's intelligent than me.
Bob: Philip is arrogant sometimes.
Polly: And he's ugly, .
Bob: Philip is arrogant sometimes.
Polly: And he's ugly, .
Polly: I heard Philip thinks that he's more 1 intelligent than me.
Bob: Philip is too 2 arrogant sometimes.
Polly: And he's ugly, too 3.
Bob: Philip is too 2 arrogant sometimes.
Polly: And he's ugly, too 3.
1 more: Because Polly is comparing Philip to herself, we use the comparative 'more' before 'intelligent'. This is the best choice here.
1 too: We cannot use 'too' in relationships of comparison.
1 so: We cannot use 'so' in relationships of comparison.
2 too: In this case 'too' is an adverb meaning 'excessive'. Here it describes Philip's arrogance.
2 more: We cannot use 'more' in this case, because we are not comparing Philip's arrogance. We are simply describing it.
2 to: 'To' is grammatically incorrect here. We would not use a preposition in this case.
3 too: 'Too' is an adverb meaning 'also'. It is usually used following the adjective.
3 more: We cannot use 'more' in this case, because it is not a relationship of comparison.
3 so: 'So' does not make sense here. It usually comes before the adjective.

1 to: As a preposition of place, 'to' indicates a movement or direction or location (to the north, to the store). It does not make sense to use it here. It can also be used to indicate possession: This pen belongs TO Icarus. 'To' cannot be used in this construction, however.
