Problems with Toward and Towards

[Laroche]

Hi,

I get confused with these two words "toward and towards" in that i dnt really knw when i use either one correctly. For example when i'm i supposed to use either in the ffg:

my/your/his/her/its/their attitude toward/towards me/you/him/her/it/them

What i mean is do we use either of them (toward/towards) in the situation of 1st,2nd, and 3rd person singular and also in the situation of 1st,2nd, and 3rd plural? If that is the case, then how do i use them correctly?

I hope i make myself explicit enough Question

Hi laroche,

I'd say 'towards'

Look at this:
Toward(s), backward(s), forward(s)

Hi,

'Toward' is the same as 'towards' and the choice depends on where you live. In the UK it is usually 'towards' and in the USA (so I have been told) it is usually 'toward' but no doubt I shall be put right about the American use if I'm misinformed.

Yes, toward is more commonly used in the US.
