<p>Initially, I thought that there is no difference between "toward" and "towards". However, experience shows that there is actually a "slight" difference; and this "slight" difference can be the one between success and fail. :)</p>
<p>Someone put questions [toward] a political nominee...</p>
<p>When singular –> towards</p>
<p>For Example: The ball bounced towards the door.<br>
“Ball” is singular so it would be “towards”.</p>
<p>When plural –> toward</p>
<p>For Example: The two men walked toward the door.
“Two Men” is plural so it would be “toward”.</p>
<p>^No. Both mean exactly the same and may be used interchangeably. The error is idiomatic: you put questions TO somebody, not toward (or towards) somebody.</p>
<p>I am not sure about this. I think that it should be [against] a political nomiee</p>
<p>I had a 79 on the Writing MC, I guess I’ve gotten rusty lol.</p>
<p>Just consulted my old Bremner book. His thought is that toward is American English and towards is British. He also says that towards is often used when combined with a word that starts with a vowel sound: towards evening.</p>
<p>^
That was exactly what I thought!</p>
<p>Anyone? bump!</p>
<p>they’re interchangeable, but toward without the s is supposedly used in ‘formal’ writing. the same rule holds in other similar cases:</p>
<p>toward/towards
forward/forwards
anyway/anyways</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve been taught that the forms with the s at the end are all grammatically incorrect, but IDK if I’ve been taught incorrect information.</p>
