Ways to tell them apart:

To hard isnt a correct phrase in English; it may look like an infinitive in front of a verb but lacks an appropriate word to follow (like work').
Too hard uses too as an adverb meaning excessively and describes something challenging or difficult.
Imagine you are saying I study to hard, the reader might wonder what action comes next because it sounds incomplete.
Too emphasizes an extreme degree and is commonly followed by adjectives, like too hot, too late, or too hard.
When in doubt, check if youre describing something extreme; thats typically too, while to is mostly involved as a preposition or part of an infinitive verb.
