In Hindi
too यानी ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा, और हमेशा नकारात्मक। very सिर्फ़ बहुत, जो अच्छा भी हो सकता है।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
The film was too good. | The film was very good. "Too" means it was a problem — for praise, use "very". |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.

Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
too / enough is a CEFR A2 structure — the everyday band — and it belongs to adjectives & adverbs. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
