- TO? TOWARD? TOWARDS?
TO + destination
We use "to" to express our destination. Where are you going? I'm going TO the bathroom. That's my destination.
We use "toward/s" to express the direction we are moving. How can I get to the train station? Walk toward that department store and take the first left. I need to move in the direction of the department store.
"Toward" without the -s is more common in American English.
"Towards" with the -s is more common in British English.
MORE EXAMPLES:
Let's go to the park. (destination)
He leaned toward me and handed me the file. (direction)
I have to go to the bank first thing in the morning. (destination)
The soccer player sprinted toward the opposing team's goal, hoping to score a goal. (direction)
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS TO PRACTICE:
📌Where are you going later? I am going TO_____.
🦏 What would you do if you say a rhino running toward you? I would _____.

I think ''it's about time'' is not always FINALLY. 'Cuz -
We're gonna watch a movie that's going to start at 8 o'clock but now it's 5 mins to 8 . So we can say ''it's about (or around time/nearly ) time the movie begins.
Towards us

what about I am going to my house. is it correct?
❤❤❤❤
I had a teaching exam, so i wonder if i can send it to you and answer the multiple choice question we had to see if my answers are correct or not
Arnel is it correct to say: What's the day today? Or What day is it today?
I think the second one sounds more natural. 🤔 Where are you from?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think toward
1 appreciate it
To us
🙏

If hurricane stops right before me, then could we say it is a destination?
