I'm curious the difference between "to" and "toward".
If I replace towards as to in the sentence below.
Do they mean same or not?
IF not, What's the difference?
-----------a line of the sitcom , "Friends"
Ross: Ah-ha, nowhere to run!
(He starts to run towards them.)
--> He starts to run to them.

Towards means in that direction, but not to the ending point. To means that you get to the ending point. The dog ran to his master.
