    "I would like a beer too" (also)
    "You have had too many beers" (excessively)

    two - the number 2

    "What? I have only had two beers"
    Thanks. That narrows down too, now what about their.

    There means a place. The problem is over there.

    Their indicates posession. It is their problem

    They're is a contraction of they are. They're going to have a problem.
