What is the correct usage for the word 'toward' or 'towards' ?
831359
Toward can be used as an adjective instead of a preposition.   In place of "to" and "around".  "Everyone was friendly toward (not towards) her."  Or, "Sometime toward (towards is wrong if your meaning is around) the end of the movie, I fell asleep."\nTowards is exclusively a preposition.  ....towards (a direction in relation to someone/something, a goal, a definite point in time, "for" a definite purpose.)

someone and I.\n\nI'll use a name for an example.  Rob and I went to the store.  If you take "rob" out of the sentence, it still makes sense so its right.  It would be "I went to the store"

Well...it actually is debatable, but I'd go with "was" to be on the safe side...\n\nWith either/or (neither/nor) things that contain subjects that take different verb forms, there is no definitive agreement on which form the verb should take.\n\nA majority, however, says that you should follow the subject that is closest to the verb, in this case " I ", so, since:\n\nI WAS asking for refills --> Neither you nor I was asking for refills.\n\nA minority say that the verb should always be singular in these cases, and an even smaller minority say that either verb form is acceptable.\n\nSo your best bet to avoid the ire of an anal-retentive English teacher (or professor, editor, yourself, etc.) is to go with the "closest to the verb" rule, in this case WAS.

Here are the errors:\n\nNeither refers to two things: neither "x" nor "y", you have used it for three.\n\n"that" is unnecessary.\n\nIt would be best written as:\n\nThe lessons, the paper, the subject; none remind me of you.

If you wish to say the equivalent of\n"I have relinquished.."\nyou would say "I have forgone" (or foregone)\n\nIf you are saying "I relinquished.."\nyou would say "I forwent" (or forewent)

Both are correct.  The verb is "give back" and both objects may optionally be moved between the main part of the verb "give" and the particle "back".  The two preceding posters, while well-meaning, are absolutely wrong.

C is correct. "between" is a preposition and begins a prepositional phrase which ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. Therefore, the objective case (form) of the personal pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) and NOT the nominative case (form) of the personal pronoun (I, he, she, we, they)follows a prepositon.\n\nI hope this helps you.

Modus meus aut via.\nMy method/way or the road/highway.\n\n"Via mea aut via" would also work.\n\nYou could also use "vel" in place of "aut" in either sentence.\nVia mea vel via.

If you were wanting a noun, progressio or progressus are both fine.  If you were using it as a verbal imperative, procede (singular) or procedete (plural) is how you would say it.

Both sentences are grammatically correct when examined alone.\n\nThe first is talking about a situation in the present.  You would use this expression when you give a gift to someone.\n\nThe second is talking about a future situation.  You would use this expression when you were talking about a movie that the other person plans to see in the future.

Yes, 22 and 23 are correct.\n\nIn 24, I'm not sure what is underlined.  In A, B, and D, the "but" and "for" are conjunctions.  In C, "for" is a preposition.\n\n25 is B.  "quickly" modifies "hid."

"For" implys usage -- She brought a cake for me (to eat, to serve to as dessert, to roll around in).\n\n"To" has a direction or selection implication.\nShe brought a cake to me (not Bob, or Carol or Ted).
