“Two” is a number (#2)
1: I have two cats
“Too” means ‘excessive’ or ‘also’
1: I am going to the store
2: I want to go the the store too!
(“Too” in this sentence could be replaced with the word “also”)
In addition to this, “To” is another one that confuses native speakers as well
“To” is used to connect other words
1: I like to dance!
2: I gave a pencil to that kid.
“Two,” “Too,” and “To” are all pronounced the same as well.
You can remember the difference between “Too” and “To” because “Too” has an extra (excessive) letter ‘o’

@mateus02230100 Yep according to context (unfortunately). Like rio (river) and rio (to laugh) in Portuguese.
