between toward and towards

when is it right to use the word 'toward' as oppose to 'towards'

[David L.]

Any time you like.
The only difference is that you are more likely to hear people use "towards" in Britain than in the US.

please assist as to when is right to use the word 'toward' and 'towards'

I have heard that towards refers to direction where toward reflects "with respect to" or "on the verge of".
I walked towards the car.
We are working toward a common goal.
In common usage, I think that they are more used interchangeably.




see you later
