to do, todo

To do or to do ( two words ) means ( to ) perform an action, to accomplish some task or work--
We still have so much to do!
It's your turn to do the dishes.
He's sure to do well.

Todo or todo ( one word, rhymes with to do ) means a fuss, or a display of activity and attention--
Don't make a big todo when he gets home; he hates a fuss.
Someone lost the keys, and there was the usual todo.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We have to finish all we have left to do, or there will be quite a todo when the boss gets back."
