Hello everyone, and welcome to On Your Mark’s English! 👋

Today is Sentence Structure Sunday, and we’re learning a very useful pattern to show a negative result: too… to…

We use too… to… when something is more than necessary or too extreme, and it stops us from doing an action.

In other words, it shows that something is so much that it causes a problem.

✅ The coffee is too hot to drink. ☕️🔥(It’s so hot that I cannot drink it.)

✅ I am too tired to work. 😴(I’m so tired that I cannot work.)

✅ The box is too heavy to lift. 📦(It’s so heavy that I cannot lift it.)

✅ This car is too expensive to buy. 💰(It’s so expensive that I cannot buy it.)

too + adjective + to + verb

This pattern always shows a problem or a negative result.

Something is too much, and because of that, you can’t do something.

You want to say it’s very late, and you cannot go out.

How do you say this using too… to…?

💬 Example: It’s too late to go out. 🌙
