👉 In the direction of.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got a great question there – “What does ‘towards’ mean?” And you’re right to check the dictionary; it tells us precisely: "In the direction of.” Let's break that down a little bit, in a way that makes sense. "Towards" simply means moving toward something. Think about it like this – if you’re walking towards the classroom door, you’re heading in that direction! It can be used with things and places, you see? “The bird flew towards the nest.” (Moving toward a place) “Let's move towards our goal!” (Moving toward an aim) Does that make it clearer? Do you have any questions about how we use ‘towards’ in sentences? Don't be shy!
