Two letter words are by no means difficult to understand, however, it can definitely be difficult to know when to use which one correctly in a sentence. Though you’ll very rarely find it difficult to pronounce one of these words, since they only have one syllable and can often be sounded out with ease, you might have a harder time knowing when it’s good to use an “at” and when it’s better to use a “to”.
This might all sound fairly easy to you, but sometimes you can be fooled by certain sentence structures. Don’t take 2 letter words for granted. Just because they are some of the shorter-length words in the English language, doesn’t mean they’re easy to figure out.
