Answer 1

'Forward' quiere decir 'hacia delante' o 'adelante'.

Esta palabra es un adverbio y por eso normalmente ocurre con un verbo.

Toward(s) quiere decir '(en dirección) a' o 'hacia'.

Esta palabra es una preposición o adjetivo y por eso normalmente occure con sustantivos.

Answer 2

Try this sentence ,-

"He walked forward and into the building* .

"Caminó hacia delante, y en el edificio".

"He walked toward the building"

"Él caminó hacia el edificio".

My Spanish may be right off the mark , but you should get the gist of it.

well done Ray, I believe you can say 'hacia adelante' but 'hacia delante' is apparently preferred according to the other RAE ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 23, 2014
