<p>I found the semester exam. It was around xmas time so that’s why the directions are like they are. I don’t have the grammar book, but I know it’s a rule in there too, to use toward. Okay, directions, word for word from my exam:
#20) Natalie wickedly whipped the ball (toward, towards) the catcher. </p>
<p>And the answer is … toward. If you put towards it was counted wrong. I wish I had my grammar book so I could show you the exact rule.</p>
