TO (preposition) = towards (direction)
It is important to know that this preposition has a weak pronunciation /tə/ most of the times, except when it is stressed for emphasis or because it goes at the end of the sentence or when we speak very slowly and clearly. In that case it is not a homophone of the other ones:
/tə/== I want to dance / Go to the beach / It may sound strange to you
/tu:/== I can do it, but I don't want to / I said go TO my house, not ROUND my house.

TOO = also, as well
TOO + adj/adv = excessively
