The degree adverb ‘TOO‘ before adjectives (and other adverbs) has a comparative meaning, in other words, meaning ‘MORE THAN‘
According to the English Vocabulary Profile, this is A1 grammar:
I don’t have enough information.
I can’t tell you my prediction yet.
It is too early.
*It is earlier than I want it to be. TOO has a negative meaning.
The negative form ‘NOT TOO‘ can be used in the same position meaning ‘NOT VERY‘ as an example of A2 grammar:
*It is not very early. Maybe it is a little early.
We can also explain what is too early:
According to the English Grammar Profile, this comparative clause structure including an adjective is B1 grammar. *It also may express modality = the attitude of the speaker (either negative or related to certainty.)
Furthermore, because there is no version of this structure that includes an adverb, we believe the structure is at least B2. Here’s an advanced example with the adverb ‘slowly‘:
French authorities had been blind to the preparations for genocide
and then reacted too slowly to appreciate the extent of the killings
Finally, because the EVP makes a difference for the negative form ‘NOT TOO’, we believe this is at least an example of C1 grammar. For example:
like the Duc de la Tremoille.
